Manzù-Brunnen, Bronze fountain at Königsplatz, Augsburg, Germany.
The Manzù-Brunnen is a water fountain on Königsplatz in Augsburg featuring a bronze female figure about 2.2 meters tall standing in a basin. A long granite bench with LED lighting runs alongside the installation, providing seating for visitors to sit and observe.
The Chamber of Commerce and Industry commissioned this fountain in 1980 to mark Augsburg's 2000th anniversary celebration. The inauguration took place in 1985 after Munich architect Alexander von Branca completed the design.
The bronze figure depicts a young woman standing in the water with bare feet, creating an intimate human presence in the public square. Visitors notice these details as they approach and observe the sculptor's work up close.
The fountain sits in an open public square in central Augsburg where you can visit anytime without restrictions. The surrounding seating makes it easy to pause and take in the surroundings at your own pace.
Unlike many other fountains in Augsburg, this bronze figure is not covered or removed during winter but remains visible year-round. The flowing water continues to surround the sculpture even in the colder months.
