Barbara-Uttmann-Denkmal, Heritage fountain monument in Elterlein, Germany.

The Barbara-Uttmann-Denkmal is a 3.50-metre sandstone fountain on the market square of Elterlein, created by Dresden sculptor Felix Pfeifer and unveiled in July 1910. A stele with a shallow niche holds a bronze relief, 1.35 m high and 0.76 m wide, showing Barbara Uttmann teaching a girl and a boy to bobbin lace. Below it reads the inscription BARBARA UTTMANN ZUM GEDÄCHTNIS, and a bronze animal head spouts water into the basin in front.

In 1884, Elterlein's Ore Mountains branch association resolved to build a memorial to Barbara Uttmann, a native-linked benefactor, but funds were short. The sandstone fountain with a stele and bronze relief was finally unveiled on 25 July 1910, with the Annaberg district governor Max Weißwange present. The unveiling also launched the Barbara-Uttmann-Stiftung for poor lacemakers.

The monument's bronze relief shows Barbara Uttmann teaching a girl and a boy to bobbin lace, and the rear inscription credits her with founding the Ore Mountains lace schools in 1561. The Barbara Uttmann Foundation for poor lacemakers was established on the occasion of the unveiling.

The sandstone fountain stands on the Elterlein market square, its basin projecting forward from the stele; a bronze animal head pours the water. A simple bench is set against the rear of the monument, below an inscription. The bronze relief with Uttmann's portrait is set in a shallow niche of the 3.50-metre structure.

The sandstone fountain is 3.50 metres tall, and its bronze relief measures 1.35 by 0.76 metres. It shows Barbara Uttmann teaching lace-making to a girl and a boy, and a bronze animal head spits a broad jet of water into the basin. A simple bench stands at the rear, beneath an inscription claiming she introduced lace-making schools to the Ore Mountains in 1561.
