    The fountain was donated by Marianne Pauline Mende to beautify the city of Leipzig. On 01.09.1886 the well was revealed. The figures were created by the sculptor Jakob Ungerer, the fountain design by Oberbaurat Adolf Gnauth.

      And Kurt Masur, an honorary citizen of Leipzig, pushed through the construction of the new (third) Gewandhaus for the orchestra (opened in 1981), which had been without its own venue since its destruction in the war in 1943.

      So he took on Berlin.

      His appeal for calm on October 9, 1989, broadcast over the then-existing city radio, remains unforgettable. Goosebumps...

        Regarding the Mende Fountain:

        Since the construction costs of 188,726.03 gold marks were not fully covered by the foundation's capital, which had meanwhile grown to 181,562.87 gold marks, a contribution of the missing amount (7,163.16 gold marks) was made from the estate of the Leipzig founder Franz Dominic Grassi.
