Stille Wasser und Stürmische Wogen

The monument features two distinct fountains named Still Waters and Stormy Waves, each displaying water patterns in contrasting styles on Albertplatz square.

Robert Diez created the fountains between 1883 and 1894, with the first fountain cast in bronze in 1892 and the second completed two years later.

The fountains represent two different water states through sculptural compositions, demonstrating the artistic interpretation of natural elements in German public art.

The fountains operate daily and illuminate at night, making them visible from multiple vantage points around the 18-meter diameter granite basins.

A section of the Stormy Waves fountain received a gold medal at the 1900 Paris World Exhibition after being recast specifically for the event.
