The Heinrichsbrunnen is a historical ornamental fountain in Meiningen, which is centrally located on the market square. The stone sculpture on the fountain stick represents Emperor Heinrich II of the Holy Roman Empire.

The base of the fountain consists of a round stone trough, which is flanked by two stone running fountains in the form of stylized chapels. Lanterns are installed on the fountain. In the middle of the trough is a three-tier well stock, which is supported by eight and four columns. The fountain stock is provided with eight water-spouting lion heads on the first floor, four water-spouting lion heads on the second floor and four seated lions on the third floor. The seated lions hold heraldic shields with the Meiningen city arms and the arms of the Duchy of Saxony-Meiningen. The fountain is crowned by the full-length statue of Henry II. The emperor with a long robe and crown holds the scepter in his right hand as ruler and on his left forearm he carries a model of the Meiningen town church as a saint.
