    Christian Siegmund Horn is one of the Freiberg personalities who have made a name for themselves thanks to their generosity and their work for the city
    most significant. He was mayor several times in the 18th century and at the time he had a foundation for the city
    Leave 70,000 thalers behind. This has been used for charitable purposes.
    The Freiberg architect Eduard Heuchler had the idea of honoring Horn with a memorial as part of the redesign of the ramparts.
    A large part of the costs were raised through donations.

    The name Hornbrunnen is somewhat confusing to today's observer. In its heyday, the monument to a former mayor and generous patron of the city was actually a fountain. After being demolished in 1977, the monument has only been partially rebuilt since 2017.

    Horn Monument (Horn Fountain) in Freiberg.

    Information:

    The monument commemorates the achievements of Mayor Christian Siegmund Horn. It was inaugurated in 1857, although several parts were still missing and the fountain section had to be significantly reduced. Thus, a Horn monument was created, more or less. After restoration, the fountain was removed.
