Feuerwehrbrunnen, Public fountain at Mariannenplatz in Kreuzberg, Germany
The Feuerwehrbrunnen features three bronze firefighter sculptures standing in an octagonal basin made of pink Swedish granite measuring ten meters in length.
Architect Ludwig Hoffmann designed the original fountain in 1902 to commemorate firefighters who risked their lives, but it was later rebuilt in 1981 after war damage.
The current fountain, created by Kurt Mühlenhaupt, incorporates humor through caricatured figures with large noses, reflecting his characteristic artistic interpretation of Berlin life.
Located in the center of Mariannenplatz, the fountain remains accessible to wheelchairs and serves as a meeting point for community gatherings throughout the year.
On the Sunday of the Dead, local firefighters gather at the fountain for a ceremony to honor colleagues who died while performing their duties.
