    Hiking

    Peace fountain or Turks well
    one of the oldest fountains in the city
    directly in front of the Johanneum

    On the left we see the Johanneum, which houses the Transport Museum, and on the right the Friedensbrunnen. The octagonal fountain, the basin of which was created in 1616, is one of the oldest in the city. Originally a representation of the goddess of peace Eirene adorned the base of the fountain. After the victorious battle against the Turks near Vienna in 1683 (therefore also called the Turkish Fountain), Eirene was replaced by Victoria, the goddess of victory.

    The fountain is located on Neumarkt and is hardly noticeable. Since it is not particularly big and is centrally located, it easily goes under between the Frauenkirche, Luther Memorial and August Memorial.
