Gänseliesel-Brunnen, Bronze fountain in Stone Gate Square, Hannover, Germany.
The fountain features a life-sized bronze statue of a girl watching over geese, mounted on a granite column with four bronze reliefs showing rural motifs.
Created by Karl Dopmeyer in 1898, the fountain stood at Goseriede street until 1981 when it was relocated due to underground railway construction.
The figure represents the agricultural heritage of Hannover, as the area was once used for grazing geese outside the city walls.
Located at coordinates 52.3762°N and 9.73254°E, the fountain provides water through goose beaks and a frog mouth into bronze shell basins.
In August 2024, the fountain was dismantled for plaza renovations with plans to return it to its original location at the newly created Goseriede Square.
