Hubertusbrunnen, Protected fountain in Lehel, Munich, Germany.
Hubertusbrunnen is a protected stone fountain in the Lehel district that serves as a focal point of its surroundings. The structure displays fine stonework and functions as a prominent landmark in the neighborhood.
The fountain was built in 1907 by architects Adolf von Hildebrand and Carl Sattler as part of Munich's early 20th-century urban development. This period of creation shaped the architectural identity of the Lehel district.
The fountain takes its name from Saint Hubertus, patron saint of hunters, a theme reflected in its artistic design elements. This connection to hunting traditions remains visible in the details of the square today.
The fountain sits centrally in the Lehel district and is easily accessible on foot, as it is publicly open and clearly visible in the neighborhood. The surrounding area provides space to linger, making it a natural meeting point in the district.
The collaboration between Hildebrand and Sattler was unusual, as they united different design approaches. The result displays a rare blend of academic rigor and local craft traditions that distinguishes the fountain to this day.
