The Kiebitz fountain has a special historical background. The story of Bismarck and the bird eggs is interesting. 😉

The Kiebitzbrunnen commemorates those loyal to Bismarck who have paid homage to Chancellor Otto von Bismarck since the founding of the German Empire in 1871. Every year, the faithful gave the chancellor 101 lapwing eggs, a regional delicacy. In 1883, Bismarck returned the favor with a Kiebitz Cup.

The fountain is located near the House of the Faithful and was erected in 1985. A plaque on the fountain "tells" the story of the "Faithful of Jever" and also commemorates the lapwing. The Faithful of Jever were and are a group of dignitaries and admirers of Bismarck who met at the Rudolphis restaurant for their regular get-togethers. To express their special reverence for Bismarck, they sent him a crate of 101 lapwing eggs every year on his birthday on April 1st.
