Lipsia-Brunnen, Ornamental fountain in central Leipzig, Germany

The Lipsia-Brunnen is a red granite fountain on a small triangular square where Kleine Fleischergasse meets Barfußgäßchen, opposite the Zum Arabischen Coffe Baum inn. A basin about five metres across rises from a thick column carved with four bearded male faces; above it sit a second and a narrower third basin. Four naked boys hold hands beneath the top basin, sheltering from the water spilling from its small fountain.

Max Lange (1868–1947), a physician and sculptor working in Leipzig, designed the fountain for a city beautification competition in 1913 and won first prize. It was first planned for the Naschmarkt; why it was not built there is unknown. It was eventually erected at its present site and originally bore the name Puttenbrunnen.

The four nude child figures beneath the upper basin hold hands as if seeking shelter from the falling water above. This arrangement creates a visible impression of vulnerability and togetherness that visitors naturally notice when passing by.

The fountain sits at a busy pedestrian crossing and is easily reached from the surrounding streets. Nearby cafes and shops make it convenient to spend time in the area while exploring the neighborhood.

The fountain was first called Puttenbrunnen, after the wingless putti holding hands beneath the top basin. The present name only caught on because of the Lipsia-Haus west of the fountain, and it is now the official one; Lipsia is the Latin name of Leipzig.
