Schwarzer Brunnen, Historic fountain monument in Georgenstraße, Eisenach, Germany.
The cast-iron fountain features a stone column decorated with iron spheres at the intersection of Georgenstraße, Alexanderstraße, and Wydenbrugk-Straße in Eisenach.
During the French occupation in 1810, a devastating gunpowder explosion from military transport wagons killed 68 people and destroyed multiple buildings in this location.
The fountain serves as a central memorial site where the city holds annual commemorations every September 1st with bell ringing ceremonies.
Connected to the municipal water system, the fountain stands on a stepped platform that compensates for the uneven ground levels of the surrounding streets.
Napoleon Bonaparte personally contributed 120,000 francs to support the city after the catastrophic explosion that led to this memorial's construction.
