Wittelsbacher Brunnen (2)
Sne011
(1019)
The fountain "Wittelsbacher Brunnen" was built in 1893 - 1895 by Adolf Hildebrand and is one of the most splendid classicistic monumental fountains in Munich. This masterpiece has been constructed to mark the completion of the Munich drinking water management from the river Mangfall and the connection of the residence of the Wittelsbacher to the municipal water supply.
The stone-flinging male figure on the left mythical creature symbolises the destructive strength of the water, while the female figure with bowl of white marble on the right side (which you can't see in this photo) is a sign for the positive power of the water.
