Intrigued by the name “Brunnenstele,” which translates to “fountain stele,” aren’t you? Right here in the Tiergarten, the Brunnenstele stands as a unique blend of sculpture and fountain, designed by Alexander Gonda in 1966. This isn’t your typical ornate fountain with cherubs and mythical creatures. The Brunnenstele is a sleek, modern granite column, approximately six meters tall. It rises from a circular mound etched with concentric wave-like patterns, almost as if the stele itself is causing ripples in the ground. Water flows from the top of the stele and cascades down the sides to a surrounding drain, creating a visual and auditory experience that is both calming and intriguing. Observe how the smooth granite surface reflects the changing light throughout the day, adding to its dynamic presence. A long bench facing Burggrafenstra\u00dfe offers a perfect spot to contemplate Gonda’s creation and the surrounding tranquility of the Tiergarten. The Brunnenstele is not just a source of water; it is a work of art, a quiet monument in a bustling city, offering a moment of reflection for those who pause to appreciate it.
