St. Johanner Marktbrunnen, Baroque water well at St. Johanner Markt, Saarbrücken, Germany.

The symmetrical fountain features a central obelisk decorated with tendrils, crowned by a vase, and four masks directing water into exterior basins.

The fountain was constructed between 1759 and 1760 under Prince Wilhelm Heinrich's order, following designs by Ignatius Bischof and Friedrich Joachim Stengel.

The fountain's three-step platform serves as a public speaking location, making it a central point for civic discourse in Saarbrücken.

The structure has undergone seven renovations since its construction, with the most recent restorations occurring in 1994 and 2012 to maintain its baroque features.

The fountain forms part of the 'Stengelsche Dreieck,' creating visual axes connecting the marketplace with Ludwigskirche and the nearby castle.
