    Star Fountain at Sternplatz

    The fountain at Sternplatz is a figurative fountain erected in 1987. It was created as part of the redesign of Sternplatz.

    The flat base is star-shaped. The central circular basin sculpture made of pink marble suggests the forms of water lilies. The surrounding points of the star are paved. Several bronze figures designed by Lothar Forster rise above the base: a nymph, a faun, and a group of tritons. To the side, on a stone block, stands a small water dispenser with a fish figure.

    The Kiliansdom is the largest of 61 churches in Würzburg and the most famous church building in the city. Directly adjacent to the left side since 2003 is the Museum am Dom with a permanent exhibition of old and new art. In the right area behind the church building is the historic Burkardushaus, which was rebuilt from 2011-2015 to a conference center.

    Every year, a commemorative is held to commemorate the bombing of the Allies on 16 March 1945, which almost completely destroyed the city of Würzburg. This is very impressive and emotional especially in front of Kiliansdom.
