Two Worlds is a fountain on the Entenplan square. The name derives from its meaning, the connection between nature and civilization. The artist, Bernd Göbel from Halle, has already explored this theme in various works. For example, in the work of the same name in Halle's town hall.

The bronze water feature consists of two intertwined pipes from which water bubbles. The fountain itself is decorated with many details and quotes, all of which have a historical connection to Merseburg or the church:

And God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to cultivate it and keep it

can be read alongside outlines of the city's history and dates of local personalities, e.g.

1806: Napoleon plunders
1848: Adolf von Basedow District Physician
Siegfried Berger 1897-1946

or an excerpt from the Merseburg incantations:

...insprino haptbandun inuar vigandun...

The design of the fountain is timeless, leaves plenty of room for interpretation, and blends seamlessly into the relaxed atmosphere of the Entenplan (entrap plan), in the foreground of the St. Maximi Church.
