Jakobsbrunnen (building name)
Jakobsbrunnen , also Jakobusbrunnen or Jakobsbrunn is a common name of springs or fountains . The name usually reminds of biblical people or events, occasionally also of people of contemporary history.
Origin and meaning
The most famous Jacob's fountain is the Jacob's fountain mentioned in the Bible , a fountain in Samaria at the foot of Mount Garizim near Shechem (today Nablus ). The naming goes back to information from the Bible ( Gen 33,18-19 EU ), the biblical place is called Sychar ( Joh 4,5 EU ). The well construction located there today has been changed several times over the centuries.
Some other fountains with this name are related to the name of this fountain, either because they are a replica of this well known pilgrimage or because they are based on the Old or New Testament biblical tradition in the fountain program. Since this biblical fountain was often perceived as a source (Bronn, Born), sources were also named Jakobsbrunnen or Jakobsbrunn .
Other Jacob 's fountains named after the progenitor Jacob either bear his fountain figure or have a biblical Jacob's story as a pictorial program.
Some Jakobsbrunnen are explicitly named after the conversation of Jesus with a Samaritan woman at the biblical Jakobsbrunnen, which has been handed down in the New Testament, and usually also reproduce this situation programmatically in figures or reliefs.
Most of the fountains are named after James the Elder , which are either in the vicinity of a St. James church , which bears his patronage, or in the context of the St. James Way , i.e. the pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela .
Sometimes Jakobsbrunnen are named after historical bearers of the first name Jakob.
