Stuhlmannbrunnen, Bronze fountain in Altona, Germany
The Stuhlmannbrunnen fountain features two centaurs engaged in combat, with detailed copper and bronze decorative elements at Republic Square in Altona.
In 1900, Berlin sculptor Paul Türpe created this monument, funded by Günther Ludwig Stuhlmann, founder of the Altona gas and water works.
The fountain represents the historical competition between Hamburg's port activities and Altona's fishing industry through its mythological centaur figures.
The monument stands at Republic Square, illuminated at night since 2005, making it visible for evening walks and photography sessions.
Local brewery Holsten funded the restoration of the deteriorating fountain in the 1990s in exchange for temporary advertising rights on Altona Town Hall.
