Schängelbrunnen in Koblenz, Bronze fountain in Willi-Hörter-Platz, Koblenz, Germany
The Schängelbrunnen features an octagonal basin made of Eifel basalt lava with reliefs depicting local children engaging in playful activities.
Created by sculptor Carl Burger in 1941, the fountain survived World War II metal collections and received minimal damage during the conflict.
The fountain's name derives from Schängel, a term that emerged during the French occupation to describe local children, stemming from the French name Jean.
Located between the Rhine and Moselle rivers in the Old Town, the fountain sprays water every three minutes, reaching several meters into the air.
Rudolf Dany, an 11-year-old boy from Mayen, modeled for the bronze statue and received 50 pfennig per modeling session.
