Fontanna Bamberki w Poznaniu, Bronze fountain figure on the Old Market Square, Poznań, Poland.

The Fontanna Bamberki in Poznań is a bronze fountain in the Old Market Square featuring a female figure in traditional dress holding wine carriers. The sculpture stands on a stone pedestal and is surrounded by water basins that form part of the overall composition.

The well was unveiled in 1915 on the Old Market Square in front of the Budniki houses, opposite Woźna Street, funded by the Poznań merchant and winemaker Leopold Goldenring. The plinth was designed by the city builder Stahl and the bronze figure cast by sculptor Józef Wackerle. In 1929 the city council had it moved to the western wall of the Town Hall; after World War II it was kept in storage, stood on Mostowa Street from 1964, and returned to the Old Market in 1977.

The figure wears the Bamberg costume, with a yoke and wine buckets, though the model, Jadwiga Gadziemska, was a Goldenring winery employee with no Bamberg roots. The Bambergers were German-origin settlers from around Bamberg brought to Poznań between 1719 and 1753 to repopulate villages emptied by the Northern War and cholera. Kazimiera Iłłakowiczówna wrote a poem, "Bambereczka", about the well.

The fountain is located on the western side of the Town Hall on the Old Market Square and is easy to find as it serves as a central landmark in this busy area. Visitors can explore the surroundings year-round, with the water basins operating fully during summer months.

The sculptor Józef Wackerle used Jadwiga Gadziemska from Piątkowo, an employee of Goldenring's winery, as his model; she had no Bamberg roots at all. The fountain also had two small drinking troughs for dogs and a plaque naming its founder, the merchant and winemaker Leopold Goldenring.
