Brunnen der Fruchtbarkeit, Heritage fountain in Prenzlauer Berg, Germany.
The Brunnen der Fruchtbarkeit is a monument made of porphyry stone in Berlin's Pankow district with sculptural figures depicting themes of nature and fertility. The construction displays crafted details and forms a central point on Arnswalder Platz.
The fountain was created by German sculptor Hugo Lederer between 1932 and 1934 as part of extensive public art development in Berlin during those years. The work emerged during a period of intensive transformation of the city's appearance.
The fountain takes its name from the fertility and abundance depicted in its design, reflecting the values of its era. People gather here to rest and use the plaza as a natural meeting point in their daily routines.
The fountain is easily accessible on Arnswalder Platz and reachable by several public transportation lines in the residential Pankow zone. The plaza offers plenty of space for walking and lingering, regardless of season or time of day.
The monument was constructed from rare porphyry stone, a volcanic rock used in only a handful of public monuments in Berlin. This material choice gives the fountain particular durability and presence compared to newer structures.
