Siegfriedbrunnen, Medieval fountain in central Worms, Germany.
The Siegfriedbrunnen is a stone fountain structure in Worms featuring carved sculptures and water elements on the Rathausplatz square. The fountain combines multiple levels with decorative stonework and stands as a central feature in the market area.
The fountain was created in 1913 by sculptor Adolf von Hildebrand as a way to honor Worms' medieval heritage. Inscriptions between the arches commemorate important figures from the city's past.
The fountain displays scenes from the Nibelungenlied, the famous German epic about the hero Siegfried. Visitors can see depictions of dragon-slaying and other moments from this ancient story carved directly into the stone.
The fountain sits in the center of Worms on the Rathausplatz and is easily accessible on foot. It serves as a convenient meeting point and a good starting place for exploring the surrounding old town.
The coat of arms designs on the fountain are dedicated to Sophie Stein, wife of a local nobleman, connecting family pride to public art in an unexpected way. This personal touch adds a layer of local significance that often goes unnoticed by passing visitors.
