For the 100th anniversary of the iron goods wholesaler of Oskar Winter and Wilhelm Meier on June 7, 1896, they had the magnificent fountain built in the old town of Hanover. He was supposed to advertise their business on the wood market. Hanoverians simply call the ornate water feature on the walk-in granite plinth in front of the Leibnizhaus "wishing well": a large ring is worked into the wrought iron grating around the massive natural stone basin, which supposedly makes every wish come true when you turn it. The correct name is actually Oskar-Winter-Brunnen.
