Europabrunnen, Modern fountain at Kleppingstrasse corner with Ostenhellweg, Dortmund, Germany
The Europabrunnen features multiple water basins with a sphere on top, cascading water flowing past a bronze frog into a larger lower pool with fountains.
The fountain was designed by artist Joachim Schmettau and officially presented to the city of Dortmund on March 18, 1989, replacing an older stepped fountain.
Initially intended to be named 'Culinary Fountain', citizens of Dortmund chose the name Europabrunnen, reflecting the period of European elections and German reunification developments.
The fountain marks the beginning of the pedestrian area of Kleppingstrasse and includes wide edges that serve as seating for people visiting nearby cafes.
The water follows a specific path on the northern side, moving around a bronze frog sculpture before flowing down steps into the main basin.
