“Dem Augenarzt Geh. Med. Rat Prof. Dr. Albert Mooren” – these words etched into the stone tell us exactly who the Albert-Mooren-Brunnen commemorates. Right here, in the heart of Dusseldorf’s Bilk district, stands this grand tribute to a man who dedicated his life to healing. Unveiled in 1910, the Albert-Mooren-Brunnen is more than just a fountain. It’s a monument to Dr. Albert Mooren, a pioneering ophthalmologist and philanthropist. He wasn’t just any doctor, he spearheaded the establishment of Dusseldorf’s very first eye clinic, bringing light to countless lives. The sculptor Joseph Hammerschmidt beautifully captured the essence of Mooren’s legacy. Above a bronze plaque bearing Mooren’s portrait, a heartwarming scene unfolds. Children, sculpted in lifelike detail, frolic and play, symbolizing the joy and vitality that Mooren’s work brought to so many. Today, the Albert-Mooren-Brunnen stands as a testament to his enduring impact, a silent guardian of his memory.
