German Fountain, Water well at Sultanahmet Square, Turkey
The German Fountain displays an octagonal shape with marble columns supporting a dome covered in gold glass mosaics at the northern end of Sultanahmet Square.
Emperor Wilhelm II of Germany presented this fountain to the Ottoman Empire in 1898, marking the strengthening diplomatic relations between the two nations.
The fountain's design combines German Neo-Renaissance elements with traditional Ottoman patterns, reflecting the architectural exchange between the two empires.
Seven brass water spouts positioned over stone basins continue to provide fresh water to visitors exploring the historic peninsula of Istanbul.
The fountain's dome interior contains symbols of both Wilhelm II and Sultan Abdulhamid II, with inscriptions in German and Ottoman Turkish.
