Bismarck Fountain (Pasing)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Bismarck fountain in Pasing

The Bismarck Fountain in the Pasing district of the Bavarian capital Munich was unveiled on April 1, 1914. The fountain on Wensauerplatz of the Pasing I villa colony is a protected monument .

Description and history

In the middle of the fountain is a small bronze equestrian statue of Imperial Chancellor Otto von Bismarck . The 60 × 55 cm figure was designed by Josef Flossmann . Two athletes hold a coat of arms on the base with the barely legible inscription: IN TRINITATE ROBUR (Our strength lies in the Triple Alliance ).

Between May 15 and June 4, 1984, in broad daylight, the Bismarck figure was probably taken away by robbers in work clothes and transported away. On December 13, 1985, a copy of the Floßmann work was mounted on the stone fountain column. In 2005 the original reappeared and was returned to the city and has been back in its place since March 30, 2009; the copy has been in the Munich City Museum since then .
