Weißenfels City Fountain

One of the cheesiest and ugliest fountains in the republic. This is how 2/3 of the locals see it🤦‍♂️
Everyone wants their well back!

With the redesign of the Jüdenstrasse, this fountain was commissioned from an Aachen artist in 2000. Its presentation is based on the history of the city. Ducal couple: between 1656 and 1746 Weißenfels was the seat of the Sekundogenitur Sachsen-Weißenfels
Palme: Duke August and his son Johann Adolph I were chairmen of the Order of the Palms, a brotherhood that was committed to the purity of the German language from foreign influences
Musicians: Bach (with the hunting horn) and Schütz (on the chembalo) represent around thirty musicians and composers who worked in the city
Blue Flower: Novalis (Georg Friedrich Philipp Freiherr von Hardenberg) was chosen to represent about forty-five writers; he was the founder of the "Blue Flower" of literature
Cobbler's seamstress and fairy tale: stand for many centuries of the city's shoemaking tradition in history and the recent past
Plants: regional plants such as the lime tree (justice), oak (the tree of the Germans), dog rose, vines and cabbage are a guarantee for the agricultural use of the regionA special feature of the fountain is that the figures are movable.Source: burgenlandkreis.im-bild.org/fotos/brunnen-wasserspiele/stadtbrunnen
