Preparations for the fountain season in Saxony's largest cities are in full swing. More than 100 fountains will soon be waking up from hibernation, as the cities of Dresden, Leipzig and Chemnitz announced on request. The facilities have been checked and cleaned.
This Monday, the contemporary Fritz-von-Harck fountain at the Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig will start flowing again, according to the Leipzig city cleaning service. As early as 1900, there was a representative decorative square with a fountain in the Wilhelminian style on this site, but it lost its effect after the Second World War. The newly designed fountain on the 4,500 square meter square consists of geometric bodies with a bright glass covering. The fountain, which is up to six meters high, is illuminated at night.
A total of 26 urban water features will once again be a feast for the eyes of Leipzig's residents. In addition to the Mendebrunnen fountain on Augustusplatz, the Pusteblumen fountain on Richard-Wagner-Platz, the Froschbrunnen fountain on Rabensteinplatz and the water feature on Grimmaische Straße will also be bubbling away.
