Laurin-Brunnen, Fountain and monument on Silvius-Magnago Square, Bolzano, Italy

Laurin-Brunnen is a fountain on Silvius-Magnago Square in Bolzano. Its pale grey stone group shows the bearded, hooded Dietrich von Bern pressing down on the dwarf king Laurin, who lies beneath him. The sculpture stands on a tall reddish-brown pedestal carved with interlaced foliate ornament and two projecting lion heads.

The fountain was commissioned by the Talferleege Culturverein and erected in May 1907 on the Bozner Wassermauer, within sight of the Rosengarten, to market Bozen as Laurin's city. Fascists demolished it on the night of 4–5 June 1933; it was moved to the Stadtmuseum Bozen and later to the war museum in Rovereto. In 1993 it returned to Bozen through the efforts of Anton Zelger and Bruno Hosp, and in 1996 it was placed on Silvius-Magnago Square. After the square's redesign in summer 2018 it stands slightly offset before the entrance of Palais Widmann.

The fountain depicts the moment from the Rosengarten saga when Dietrich von Bern pins down the dwarf king Laurin. The Talferleege Culturverein commissioned it in 1907 to market Bozen as the city of Laurin, and an inscription on the base states the aim: to increase citizens' welfare and honour foreign guests.

The fountain sits on a central square in front of important buildings and is easily reached on foot. From this spot, visitors can comfortably walk in different directions or access public transportation options nearby.

The fountain was commissioned by the Talferleege Culturverein to market Bozen as the city of Laurin, and its base inscription read: "Der Bürger Wohl zu mehren, dem fremden Gast zu Ehren." The figure group shows Dietrich von Bern pinning the dwarf king Laurin, a scene from the Rosengarten legend.
