The Erfurter owes this beautiful fountain to a competition from 1880. In order to commemorate the successful completion of the construction of the central waterworks, this competition was announced, which was won by the then 38-year-old Berlin architect and craftsman Heinrich Stöckhardt (1842-1920).
Two oversized figures personifying two traditional Austrian industries adorn Erfurt's Angerbrunnen fountain on the left and right. A male figure between attributes such as a hammer and a vice symbolizes the machine and weapon industry as well as the craft and arts and crafts.

The figures on the monumental Angerbrunnen in Erfurt from 1890 represent industry and horticulture, the hard work of Erfurt. The stone fountain becomes a real "eye-catcher", especially in the evening hours when the fountain lighting starts.
