The walk-in Seagull Fountain was built and inaugurated in 2001. Four bronze sculptures, the gods Neptune, Triton, Nereus and Protheus, were arranged in the four cardinal directions.

The Seagull Fountain by sculptor Waldemar Otto has stood in the northwest corner of the Neuer Markt since 2001. The sculptures of Greek sea gods symbolize the city's proximity to the sea. Rostock residents are sometimes bothered by the gloomy appearance and the naked depiction of the figures, but the fountain has served as a popular meeting place ever since.
