Friedensbrunnen, Water well in Dresden, Germany

The stone Friedensbrunnen combines architectural elements with functional water supply features, displaying early 17th-century German craftsmanship through its structural design.

Built in 1616, this water well became a central meeting point for Dresden residents during a time when public water sources formed essential parts of community infrastructure.

The name Friedensbrunnen, meaning Peace Fountain, reflects the values of Dresden inhabitants who established this communal water source as a symbol of social harmony.

Located at coordinates 51.0516 latitude and 13.7397 longitude, this heritage monument maintains its original function while serving as a historical point of interest.

This dual-purpose structure represents both a functional water source and a protected heritage monument, marking over four centuries of continuous presence in Dresden.
