Queckbrunnen, Heritage water well in Dresden, Germany.
The Queckbrunnen stands 4.5 meters tall, featuring a square sandstone structure with light-colored upper sections and dark stone base at Hertha-Lindner-Strasse.
First documented in 1461, this water source initially served the leather tanning community and was located 400 meters northwest of Wilsdruffer Gate.
Local folklore connects the fountain to a stork figure, installed in 1735, representing the traditional German tale of storks delivering newborn babies.
The fountain remains operational through connection to Dresden's municipal water system since 1965, providing accessible water to visitors and residents.
Between 1514 and 1521, a pilgrimage chapel stood next to the fountain, attracting visitors who believed its waters could enhance fertility.
