Gleaming under the sun, the Brunnen by Herbert Lungwitz invites you to pause and admire its unique beauty. Created in 1960, this steel sculpture isn’t just a fountain; it’s a work of art. The Brunnen, located within Essen’s Grugapark, is part of a larger collection known as “Kunst in der Gruga.” The fountain features multiple, tiered, circular basins made of chrome-plated steel. These shimmering dishes reflect the sunlight, creating an ever-changing display of light and shadow. As water cascades gently from one level to the next, the Brunnen becomes a dynamic, almost living, presence in the park. It’s a testament to Lungwitz’s artistic vision and a captivating sight for visitors to Grugapark.
