Richard-Strauss-Brunnen, Bronze fountain in Altstadt-Lehel, Germany
The Richard Strauss Fountain consists of a large bowl mounted on a six-meter bronze column with water cascading down in multiple directions based on wind patterns.
Hans Wimmer created this fountain in 1962 to commemorate Richard Strauss, the Munich-born composer who served as the principal conductor at the Bavarian State Opera.
The bronze reliefs circling the pillar depict six different scenes from the opera Salome, displaying the narrative sequence of this notable musical composition.
Located on Neuhauser Strasse near Saint Michael's Church, this fountain serves as a central meeting point in Munich's pedestrian shopping district.
The falling water streams create patterns resembling moving veils, symbolizing the Dance of the Seven Veils from Strauss's opera Salome.
