Mozartbrunnen

Very impressive fountain on the Bürgerwiese. The three figures, grace, cheerfulness and seriousness represent Mozart's music through their dance.

Is a fountain that stands in the landscape garden Bürgerwiese in the Dresden district Seevorstadt-Ost / Großer Garten.

The Mozart Fountain was created in 1907 in Art Nouveau style by the Berlin sculptor Hermann Hosaeus. The three gilded bronze figures “Grace”, “Hilarity” and “Seriousness” move symbolically in Mozart's time. When strolling through the park, we also pass the artificial pond with a fountain, which was created in 1861 and which is fed with water from the Kaitzbach via the Zierbach. After crossing Blüherstrasse, the simple nymph fountain "Die Badende" made of white marble awaits us.

Unfortunately, it was completely installed and so not visible.

Well-kept art in the well-kept garden. Very nice to look at in any season. Thanks for the tip.

This Mozart fountain is a listed building.
The fountain consists of two parts. A small column made of Tyrolean marble stands like an altar on a round sandstone pedestal. The name "Mozart" is affixed in golden letters on the front, bordered by tendril hangings. Around the altar, three larger-than-life female figures made of bronze, covered with gold leaf, dance. They symbolize the deep, devout-pious seriousness, the graceful grace and the sunny, laughing cheerfulness and should thus embody the essence of Mozart's music.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source
(whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'well'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly much beauty in
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it."
(H.Erhardt)

The Mozart fountain with three golden dancing women

The fountain with 3 gilded bronze figures was handed over in 1907. It was badly destroyed in 1945 and then fell into disrepair. In 1991 the 3 figures were put up again. The fountain was built in honor of Mozart, although he only stayed once in Dresden in 1789.

The Mozart monument by Hermann Hosaeus, which was destroyed in 1945 and reconstructed in 1991 - three female figures dance a round dance - dates from 1907.
