Siebenröhrenbrunnen, Water well in Kirchbrunnenstraße, Heilbronn, Germany
The Siebenröhrenbrunnen is a fountain with seven water spouts arranged in a stone structure that reflects Renaissance architecture. The construction features a shallow water basin with an arched framework that supports the decorative elements.
The fountain first appears in written records from 1364, and its current form was reconstructed in 1541 by Balthasar Wolff. This reconstruction shaped its appearance, with multiple renewals happening over the centuries that followed.
The fountain displays portrait medallions created by sculptor Karl Federlin, showing historical figures and biblical scenes on its structure. These carved details give the fountain a storytelling quality that visitors can discover while passing by.
The fountain sits near St. Kilian's Church and is easily reached on foot. Being centrally located, visitors can combine it with other nearby attractions in the area.
The water came from a naturally warm spring and flowed so abundantly that the fountain rarely froze even in harsh winters. Only an extreme cold spell in January 1726 managed to interrupt its otherwise consistent water circulation.
