The Fountain of Friendship is a fountain on Schumannplatz (formerly Karl-Marx-Platz) in Zwickau. It has existed since 1986 and consists of stylized representations of a globe, volcano and earth. The artists Erika Matthes and Joachim Harbort designed it. The first water flowed on August 21, 1986. At weekends, four LED bubble jets illuminate the fountain.

The approximately 120 square meter facility on Schumannplatz was extensively renovated for almost 170,000 euros. "The 'Friendship Fountain' has been very popular with Zwickau residents and visitors for almost 30 years."

The Friendship Fountain is, alongside the fountain in the Swan Pond, the largest "water feature" in the city. It is not an ordinary ornamental fountain, but a work of art in public space, built according to a design by Erika Matthes and Jo Harbort. After four years of planning and construction, the fountain was put into operation in 1986.
