Faunbrunnen, Bronze fountain in Leiterstraße, Magdeburg, Germany.
The Faunbrunnen fountain spans 3.40 meters in diameter and features multiple bronze faun figures positioned around its circular perimeter.
Sculptor Heinrich Apel created this fountain in 1986, during the period when the pedestrian zone was being redeveloped with GDR prefabricated buildings.
The fountain gained national recognition when it appeared on an official GDR postage stamp in 1989, representing Magdeburg's public art.
The fountain operates as both a decorative water feature and a drinking water source, located between the main train station and Magdeburg Cathedral.
The bronze figures were cast at the Lauchhammer art and bell foundry, with the initial working title 'Ein Kessel Buntes' referencing a GDR television show.
