Minervabrunnen, Two historical water wells at Domplatz, Erfurt, Germany
The Minervabrunnen and main market well stand as central features in the expansive two-hectare Domplatz square, surrounded by historical buildings and structures.
The northern section of Domplatz contained residential buildings until 1813, when conflicts between Prussia and France resulted in their complete destruction.
The Minervabrunnen bears a statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, while an obelisk marks the 1777 visit of Mainz Archbishop von Erthal.
The square provides drinking water through its wells and contains underground parking facilities beneath Petersberg, with designated areas for tour buses.
The ground surface combines original basalt stone pavement in certain sections with concrete blocks in areas where buildings once stood.
