Bierbrunnen, Water well in Schildergasse, Cologne, Germany
The Bierbrunnen features a tall granite column surrounded by a thin cascading water film in the center of Schildergasse pedestrian zone.
The fountain was erected in 1972 when the city administration transformed the area into a pedestrian zone and commissioned art objects for public spaces.
The granite column design by Harald Frehen represents a traditional Kölsch beer glass, connecting the fountain to the local brewing traditions.
Located at coordinates 50.936481, 6.95552, visitors can access the fountain 24 hours daily in the main shopping district of Cologne.
Underground pipes were installed to enable direct beer dispensing from the fountain during special events, with beer wagons parking in adjacent streets.
