Alsterfontaine, Water fountain in Hamburg-Altstadt, Germany
The Alsterfontaine fountain propels water up to 90 meters high and moves 180,000 liters of water per hour through its submersible pump system.
Conceived by Carlheinz Hollmann and inaugurated in 1987, the fountain drew inspiration from the Jet d'Eau fountain located in Geneva, Switzerland.
The fountain marks seasonal changes in Hamburg as it operates from March to November, being replaced by a Christmas tree during winter months.
Visitors can view the fountain from multiple points along the Jungfernstieg promenade while enjoying the nearby restaurants and cafes.
The fountain typically maintains a 60-meter height during regular operation to prevent water from splashing onto surrounding pedestrian areas.
