really nice historical fountain

The baroque Neptune Fountain near Alexanderplatz is one of the most beautiful fountains in Berlin. The water feature known by Berliners as "Forckenbecken" stands in the open space between the Marienkirche and the Rotes Rathaus and is a popular meeting place for Berliners and tourists.

Neptune is standing in a basin with his trident in hand. The four female figures at his feet symbolize the rivers Elbe, Rhine, Oder and Vistula.

The Neptune Fountain was originally built in front of the Berlin City Palace in 1891. It was a gift from Berlin to Kaiser Wilhelm II. The builder of the fountain, Reinhold Begas, gained fame through him. While the fountain survived the Second World War without major damage, the figures were damaged by non-ferrous metal thieves in 1946. When the Berlin City Palace was blown up, the figures were stored and the red marble fountain bowl destroyed.

It was not until 1969 that the fountain and its figures were rebuilt, this time at a different location. The open space created after the war between the Rotes Rathaus and Marienkirche was occupied by the Neptune Fountain. The new fountain bowl is made of red granite, the figures have been renovated.

In the course of the new construction of the Berlin City Palace as the Humboldt Forum, consideration is being given to relocating the Neptune Fountain to its original location on Schloßplatz.
