The Albrechtsbrunnen in Kaiserslautern is now in Bremerstraße.
history
The fountain was built in 1890 in front of the then Royal Bavarian District Command in Logenstrasse (today's police headquarters ) in the Renaissance style. Its name is reminiscent of King Albrecht, who in the Middle Ages, in 1303, gave the city the southern city forest as a gift. Five years later, in 1895, the fountain was moved to its current location in Bremerstraße, where it has stood at the entrance to the city forest ever since.

The fountain itself comes from Heinrich Bernd ; In 1911 his brother Gustav Adolf Bernd created the crowning sculpture "Boy with Piglet", which symbolizes the king's right to be allowed to drive the pigs of the inhabitants to fattening in the forest.
