history
The fountain was built in 1910 as a memorial to mark the centenary of Chile's independence ; The memorial was inaugurated on October 13, 1912. The German minority in Chile financed the bronze sculpture designed by the German sculptor Gustav Eberlein as a token of appreciation for the friendly welcome that the South American country had given them. In 2012 the fountain was restored and lighting was installed.
The Swiss lion is another monument donated by the Swiss community in Chile for the occasion.
