    The imposing Augustus Fountain is one of the magnificent fountains in Augsburg. Emperor Augustus can be seen on the pillar in the center. The fountain was completed in 1594 in Renaissance style.

    Augustus Fountain, Augsburg
    The three monumental fountains with bronze figures are the artistic highlight of the water system. Hubert Gerhard created the first one in 1594. In the center stands the city's founder, Augustus, as Emperor of Peace. The four river gods symbolize Augsburg's main waterways: the Lech, Wertach, and Singold, as well as the Brunnenbach stream, artificially created for drinking water.
