    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.

    Completed in 1890, the Angerbrunnen should represent the two foundations of the modern metropolis of Erfurt in the 19th century, horticulture and industry.

    The Angerbrunnen represents one of Erfurt's most distinctive monuments. Its dual function at the time of its construction is noteworthy. The front presented itself as a magnificent ornamental fountain with water features, contributing to the beautification of the square. The back, on the other hand, served citizens as a practical water source.
