Mohrenbrunnen

The Mohrenbrunnen is a water well in Freising with a central stone figure standing on a decorative base. Water flows from a tiered structure with ornamental elements into the lower basin.

The structure was built in the early 1900s and combines elements reaching back to the 18th century. An existing sculpture was incorporated into the new fountain design.

The figure and its surroundings show stylistic choices that developed over time. Visitors can observe these artistic layers in the details of the stonework and basin design.

The fountain sits in the pedestrian area and is easy to reach with no entry charge required. Since the figure is made of durable stone, the site is accessible in all weather, though early mornings tend to be less crowded.

The inscription on the fountain tells a story about its name and the person it was built for. These details are often overlooked but connect the structure to the people and stories of the city.
