History and function of today's Frankfurt fountain

Water supply

Draw well

Roman fountain

With the emergence of the first permanent settlement, the water from the Main and tributaries was no longer sufficient to supply the population with water and draw wells were drilled. Only a few of these wells have survived. In the Roman city there is a Roman well of the former city of Nida . A medieval draw well has been preserved at the Friedberger Warte and the Sachsenhausen observatory .

From the 16th century there was a strict regulation of the wells. For each well there was a well roll, i.e. a list of all the well neighbors who were allowed to use the well and were required to maintain it, as well as the annual fees to be paid for this ( well fee ). An older and a younger fountain master elected for one or two years each were responsible for renovating and cleaning the fountain. At some wells, a volunteer well-school hotline also monitored the activity of the well master.

In modern times, the inflow of groundwater from the wells was no longer sufficient to ensure the supply of the growing city. In 1607, under the supervision of a specially appointed citizens' commission, the construction of a water pipe began to convey the water from the springs from the Friedberger Feld in what is now Nordend , between Bornheimer Landstrasse in the north and Merianstrasse in the south, into the city. The water was extracted there in six well chambers and fed into a main line, which branched into an east and a west line approximately at the level of Eiserner Hand and Friedberger Landstrasse . These ran under the Friedberger Tor and the Eschenheimer Tor into the city and supplied around 30 urban wells here according to a pipeline plan from 1690. The pipelines were initially made of lead, later of wood and from 1771 of iron. In total, they fed around 155 cubic meters daily into the city's wells, enough to ensure the city's water supply for over 200 years.

Pump well

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the draw wells in the urban area were mostly replaced by pump wells. A typical design was created from a fountain column made of red Main sandstone and sandstone basins, as can still be found in many parts of the city.

After the Free City of Frankfurt was founded , the aqueduct from Friedberger Feld was no longer sufficient to meet the growing needs of the now approx. 41,000 inhabitants. In 1815 a second aqueduct was planned and completed in 1828–1834: Water from the Knoblauchsfeld in the north end, west of the Eckenheimer Landstrasse between today's Schwarzburgstrasse and the Falkensteiner Strasse, also supplied the city in the future. The four vaulted well chambers were connected to one another by the water gallery , an accessible, underground channel almost 500 meters long. At the same time, the sources of the Friedberger Feld were redefined and connected by a canal. A total of 17,000 meters of supply lines now led to the two distribution chambers at Friedberger and Eschenheimer Tor, which together conveyed 1500 cubic meters of spring water daily. The distribution network in the city supplied 98 pump wells and 120 tube wells, 120 fire hydrants and around 300 house nozzles. On January 1, 1832, the fountain rolls were revoked and responsibility for the municipal wells and the collection of the fountain fee was transferred to the municipal building authority.

A third aqueduct was built in Sachsenhausen from 1856 to 1859, which supplied the Sachsenhausen and Frankfurt side with 1200 to 1900 cubic meters of water from the Seehof spring every day. The necessary water pressure was generated with two steam engines of 28 HP each. A new water-powered pumping station was built on the Old Bridge for the Sachsenhausen gardeners who had previously used the Seehof spring . Until 1862 the city still levied a well fee, since then the city has borne the costs of the public wells itself.

drinking fountain

With the construction of the water network at the end of the 19th century, the wells lost their function of supplying water to the population. Nevertheless, wells were still built for water supply until the 1960s. They were drinking fountains that were open to the public. Such drinking fountains were built in particular in the schools that were newly built or restored after the Second World War . These were often artistically designed as art in architecture. Examples are the pelican fountain by the sculptor Claere Bechtel at the Albert Schweitzer School, the sea lion fountain by the Frankfurt painter and sculptor Karl Trumpfheller at the August Jasper School or the "cleaning swan" by the Frankfurt sculptor Faber-Jansen at the Else-Sander- School. These wells have almost completely disappeared today. Even with wells with spring water of drinking quality like the Röhrborn in Bergen-Enkheim, signs warn of "no drinking water" for reasons of liability.

In 2016, the first stainless steel drinking water fountain was installed on the corner of Liebfrauenstrasse and Zeil. Another one was later set up at the Alte Oper at the beginning of Freßgass and one in the water park. The operator Mainova plans to build more drinking water wells in the city area.

Healing fountain

The revue at the Grindbrunnen. The picture from 1830 shows a folk festival and a military parade at the Grindbrunnen.

Even if Frankfurt was never a spa , there were and still are some fountains in the city that have been and are ascribed medicinal properties.

The Grindbrunnen , already mentioned in the 13th century, was located at Gutleuthof in today's Gutleutviertel . It was a popular destination on the outskirts of the city. Goethe described the goings-on in his memoirs:

“On the right bank of the Main below, about half an hour from the gate, there is a sulfur well, neatly bordered and surrounded by ancient linden trees. Not far from there is the "Court of the Good People", once a hospital built for this spring's sake. On a certain day of the year the herds of cattle from the neighborhood gathered around on the communal pastures, and the shepherds and their girls celebrated a rural festival, with dancing and singing, with all kinds of lust and naughtiness. "

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe : From my life. Poetry and Truth , First Book

In 1868, the Frankfurt national poet Stoltze ironically sang about the olfactory effect of a romantic walk to the Grindbrunnen:

"The night air brought us out of the promenade, a fragrance like hair oil and bommad , like köllisch water and like musk pills ."

- At the Grinkbrunne

The meadows around the Grindbrunnen served the Frankfurt vigilante groups as a parade ground in the 19th century , where they always gathered on the anniversary of the Battle of the Nations near Leipzig . The sulfur- and sodium-containing water has healing properties for skin diseases, hemorrhoids , gout , rheumatism and even all kinds of mental illnesses . However, patients were advised not to drink more than five jugs a day. In 1873 a drinking hall for spa guests was built. In 1875 a committee was even founded to raise Frankfurt to a spa town and to rename it to Bad Frankfurt . In 1886, due to the expansion of the western harbor , the well was relocated to Nice , where a similar spring had been drilled. However, the well proved to be insufficiently productive and the spa operation was terminated before 1914. In 1963 the well was closed permanently due to groundwater pollution.

In Sossenheim and Nied there are several wells that are geologically the continuation of the spring area, which stretches down from the Kronthal spring park via Bad Soden am Taunus to the Main. These include the Faulbrunnen in Sossenheim and the Selzerbrunnen as well as the Faulbrunnen in Nied.

The Königsbrünnchen is located in the Frankfurt city forest near the Jacobiweiher . The light brown color of the well water comes from iron oxide hydrate, the water is said to have healing properties. It tastes slightly like hydrogen sulfide.

Ornamental fountain

Since the beginning of modern times, representative fountains have been built especially in central places such as Römerberg, Kaiserstraße, in front of the zoo or Landgrafenplatz, which were supposed to document the status and wealth of the city.

Well axis

Brockhaus fountain on the Zeil (viewing direction Hauptwache)

With the local elections in Hesse in 1977 , in which Walter Wallmann (CDU) was elected mayor in Frankfurt , a clear change in urban development began. In addition to investments in cultural objects (reconstruction of the old opera , museum bank ), the idea of ​​a fountain axis was also part of the reorientation of city policy. The Lucae fountain at the old opera, the Freßgass fountain, the Struwwelpeter fountain at the Hauptwache, the Pomodoro fountain and the Brockhaus fountain on the Zeil were built. The expense of over 5 million marks was used to upgrade the Zeil and Freßgass , which became pedestrian zones after the construction of the subway .

Skyscrapers and fountains

A large number of high-rise buildings have been built in Frankfurt since the Second World War . The necessary distances to the neighboring buildings created urban open spaces, which in many cases were built on with wells. Examples are the (former) fountain in front of the BfG high-rise , the fountain behind the Dresdner Bank high-rise or the high-rise in the park .

A particularly large water system is located in the shaft . The publicly accessible promenade with an artificial watercourse, which is intended to remind of the former course of the Leerbach, runs between the two components. Individual sections are equipped with bubbles.

Water playgrounds

Günthersburgpark, water features

There are 7 forest playgrounds in the Frankfurt city forest, some of which are equipped with paddling pools and water spraying systems by the forestry office. The spray fountains are partially equipped with fantasy figures by the sculptor Hugo Uhl . Comparable spray fountains can be found (in the order in which they are created) in the Schwanheimer Waldspielpark, in the Höchst City Park, in the Eschersheim outdoor pool and in the Tannenwald forest recreation park. Not all systems have been preserved.

In the urban area, the garden department has also set up water playgrounds in various parks. One example is the water playground in Günthersburgpark . In 2013 a new water playground was built in Niddapark for € 500,000 .

The fountain festival

The fountain festival in Sachsenhausen was first mentioned in a document in 1490. It is celebrated every year on the 3rd weekend in August. It is particularly important for the Frankfurt fountains that the fountain festival has been used as an occasion to renovate or create new fountains since the 1950s. This resulted in a large number of fountains in the Sachsenhausen district. One of the most famous fountains is Frau Rauscher's fountain in Klappergass.

In 1961 this fountain was inaugurated by the fountain queen Helga I. The specialty of this fountain is that the figure of Mrs. Rauscher spits on passers-by walking by.

Sources

Fountain on the Römerberg based on Matthäus Merian's bird 's eye view of Frankfurt am Main (1628)

Wells are often mentioned in historical documents, usually as accessories to houses or goods that are dealt with in the respective document. However, neither the design nor the exact location has been handed down. The contemporary maps, in particular Matthäus Merian's Vogelschauplan von Frankfurt am Main (1628) , give evidence of this . From the beginning of modern times, the fountain scrolls give a picture of the city's public fountains. Knowledge about the dismantling of wells in the 19th century is particularly patchy. In many cases, the representation of the wells simply ends without the mining being recorded. In the literature, Friedrich Wilhelm Delkeskamp's (1794–1872) "Picturesque plan of Frankfurt am Main and its immediate surroundings" from 1864 is mentioned here, on which many of the fountains mentioned earlier are no longer recorded. Based on these primary sources, there are a number of secondary sources that deal with the past and present of the Frankfurt fountains and are presented in the literature section. The works of Siegfried Nassauer, Heinz Schomann and Hans Lohne contain particularly extensive representations.

A number of works deal with legends and stories about the Frankfurt fountain. For reasons of space, these anecdotes and legends are not shown in this list.

For the districts of Frankfurt that were later incorporated, the sources are much worse. In the local historical literature of these places, the history of the fountain is only mentioned in passing, if at all. Therefore, no fountains are mentioned in this list for a number of districts (such as Ginnheim ), even if they must of course have existed.

Monument protection

In particular, the historic fountains in the city center and Sachsenhausen are under monument protection. The listed fountains are documented in the monument topography of the city of Frankfurt. In the supplementary volume from 2000, no wells are listed as protected individual objects. The supplementary volume "The Frankfurt District Cemeteries" has three listed fountains.
