Tips

In 1884, the Lindavia fountain was personally and ceremoniously inaugurated by the artist: bronze figures stand on the four round bowls, symbolizing shipping, fishing, viticulture and agriculture. These are the economic areas and crafts that generated the wealth of the island city at the time.
Lindavia wears a crown on her head, holds an oar in her left hand and a linden branch in her right hand. The rudder, of course, represents shipping on Lake Constance - but the linden branch? This is no coincidence: the Lindau city coat of arms has had a linden tree since the 13th century. Lindau was already known back then as the “island where linden trees grow”.

On the Reichsplatz near the old town hall, the Lindaviabrunnen invites you to discover and relax.
Where the fish market of the small town on Lake Constance used to take place, today there is an elaborately designed water dispenser made of light red marble.
The Munich sculptor Wilhelm Rümann built the fountain in honor of King Ludwig II's 20th birthday and inaugurated it in 1884.
There are bronze figures on the four round bowls, which symbolize shipping, fishing, viticulture and agriculture - the economic areas that shaped the wealth of Lindau at that time.
At the top is Lindavia - the female embodiment of the Lake Constance city.
She wears a small crown on her head and holds an oar in her left hand and a linden branch in her right hand.
It is no coincidence that it presents this branch of all places: The Lindau city arms have shown a linden tree since the 13th century - the place was already known as the “island on which linden trees grow”.

The beautiful fountain symbolizes the city of Lindau and was built in 1884 for the 20th anniversary of the coronation of King Ludwig II of Bavaria.

The Lindavia fountain is on Reichsplatz by the old town hall. Here is the historic center of Lindau on Lake Constance. The square used to be Lindau's fish market.
On the 20th coronation day of King Ludwig II, the Lindavia fountain was inaugurated in 1884. The fountain - in the form of a four-leaf clover - is made of light red Trento marble. At the top of the fountain is the bronze Lindavia. She represents the female embodiment of the city of Lindau. Lindavia carries a little wall crown on her head and in one hand an oar for steering, in the other hand a linden branch. The linden branch can also be seen in the city arms of Lindau. There are four bronze figures between the marble red bowls of the Lindavia fountain. They stand for shipping, fishing, viticulture, horticulture and agriculture. These areas shaped the wealth of the city of Lindau on Lake Constance.

For the description above, you almost forget the fountain. No offense.

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source
(whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain:
"There's certainly a lot of beauty in it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can leave it alone."
(H.Erhardt)

The fish market is usually not exactly quiet. However, on the Reichsplatz near the Old Town Hall, where the Lindau fish market used to take place, it is wonderfully quiet today. This is where the Lindavia fountain is located - which invites you to relax with its beauty and the soothing sound of water.

The fountain, made of light red marble, was designed by the Munich sculptor Wilhelm Rümann. The reason for its construction was the 20th year of the reign of King Ludwig II of Bavaria. He was the legendary “Fairy Tale King” – so it’s easy to imagine that he really liked the magically beautiful fountain.

With a crown that symbolizes the city wall and a rudder in her hand, "Lindavia", the female embodiment of Lindau, sits enthroned on her marble base. She is accompanied by four bronze figures that symbolize local trades: shipping, fishing, gardening and viticulture, and agriculture. The financial foundation for the construction was laid in 1877 by a former Lindau resident: Martin Fels, consul on Corfu. The design was carried out by the sculptor Wilhelm Rümann and the architect Friedrich von Thiersch. The fountain was inaugurated in 1884 on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the throne of the "fairytale king" Ludwig II of Bavaria.
