Märchenbrunnen, Fairy tale fountain in Wuppertal, Germany
The Märchenbrunnen features 106 stone sculptures across a 34 by 54 meters area with cascading waterfalls and multiple water displays.
Construction of the fountain commenced in 1897, following designs by architect Ludwig Hoffmann and sculptor Wilhelm Albermann, with completion in 1913.
The fountain displays scenes from German fairy tales including Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and Little Red Riding Hood through detailed stone carvings.
A protective fence surrounds the fountain structure to maintain its preservation and prevent damage to the historical sculptures and water features.
The restoration process in 2005 utilized digital 3D modeling of historical photographs to recreate lost sculptures in aluminum castings.
