    Oldest fountain in Merseburg 👍. Right next to the cathedral. Definitely go there!

      The Cathedral Fountain is the oldest surviving fountain in the city. Unlike modern water features, which are designed as artistic spatial enhancements, this one originally served as a drinking water supply. In this case, it supplied the Cathedral Gymnasium with drinking water until 1883. Students carried it to school in 20-liter jugs.

      The fountain is located directly in the forecourt of Merseburg Cathedral under two plane trees. The stone fountain basin is separated on four sides by half-columns. To commemorate the 1000th anniversary of Merseburg's founding (June 21, 1933), the fountain was capped with a wrought-iron crown, which it still retains today. The fountain had a water level of two meters.
