OT	Surname	Address, location	year	Artist	Brief description and picture
Fh	Splash	Boxhagener Platz location	1925	Erwin Barth	At the edge of a rectangular paddling pool 82 cm deep on all sides (25 and 14 meters long) stand two concrete bases, each with a flat round pedestal. On one pedestal, four penguins are grouped around a centrally recessed nozzle, on the other pedestal there is a group of ducks. The animal figures are made of bronze and are about 85 cm high.
Fh	Splash Forckenbeckplatz	Forckenbeckplatz location	around 1996	Adalbert Maria Klees (Nature and Green Space Office)	The approximately 15 meter round paddling pool is laid out almost at ground level with step plates. It is framed by two opposite, water-spouting granite elephants (see picture) as well as two crocodiles and giant tortoises made of artificial stone .
Fh	Fountain basin	Frankfurter Allee 13–15 location	1969 renewed 1996		Four square steel fountain basins (side lengths of six meters each) are set into the ground in the green area. In summer there is a small fountain in each pool, and roses are planted between and around them. The water system, including the surrounding meadow and beds, was restored in 2016 and 2017 so that only the water pipes could be seen. They have been back in operation since 2018 (lower picture).
Fh	Brunnenhof	Karl-Marx-Allee 34 location	Jan 15, 1964 (opening of the restaurant)	Fritz Kühn	In the courtyard of the former Moscow restaurant there was a fountain, the metal decorative elements of which (above all the stainless steel faceted ball) came from the workshop of the blacksmith Fritz Kühn . The water supply was switched off after the repeated use at the beginning of the 21st century, the facetted sphere has been preserved. The picture shows the fountain sculpture visible from the outside in October 2017.
Fh	Fountain basin	Karl-Marx-Allee 70 location	1969	unknown	Three square basins, each about 60 cm high and each side seven meters long, were created in place of the Stalin memorial that was demolished in 1961 . They have been out of service since 1992. The now ailing well system was dismantled in summer 2018 and then completely renewed. The cubature and the edging with step were preserved. However, the three basins originally up to 90 cm deep now only have a maximum depth of 30 cm in accordance with the applicable regulations. During the day, fountains bubble up in the basin again. Commissioning took place in June 2019. The renovation of the listed complex including the surrounding small park cost 1.5 million euros, which comes from the federal and state urban redevelopment program.
Fh	Fountain system	Karl-Marx-Allee 90A location	1997	unknown	The ventilation pipes of the underground car park under the Vitro Plaza office building complex, which was built in 1997 and owned by Allianz Realestate AG , are also wells. The water runs slowly down the outside of the pipes.
Fh	Watercourse	Landsberger Allee	around 1993 when the main entrance was rebuilt after the fall of the Wall	unknown	From the driveway or access to the Friedrichshain Hospital directly on Landsberger Allee to the covered entrance, a kind of stream has been laid out on a lawn parallel to the path. This is formed from a long, rectangular, low basin about 1.20 m wide and 25 m long, in which there are six oblong-oval flat granite stones. The water flows at slow speed from one face to the opposite.
Fh	four blocks of tufa	Naglerstrasse 4 location	2010 (around)	Gustav Lange	The Hamburg landscape architect Lange designed a coherent ensemble of fountains on four adjacent courtyards: in the center of each courtyard is a block of tuff , all of which were cut out of a mountain in Slovenia . In order to be able to place them in the courtyards, each one was finely sawn into four smaller blocks, which were brought individually through the narrow courtyard passages. On site, the workers put everything back together so that there is a block with an edge length of three meters on each yard; the free surfaces were left naturally shaped. Water from rainwater pipes directed towards them trickles steadily onto the stones. The water is collected in a cistern below the blocks and fed back to the blocks using an electric pump to trickle down. The constantly moist rock is said to be populated by mosses and ferns over time . The planner thus realized the idea of ​​“planting powerful pieces of nature in (an) urban environment”. This represents a deliberately designed contrast to the industrial architecture predominantly found in this area of ​​the lamp city. The facades of all buildings in the courtyards are clinkered .
Fh	Ball fountain	Petersburg square location	1993	Adalbert Maria Klees (Nature and Green Space Office)	A sphere made of gneiss , designed as a globe, is stored in a shallow basin and rotates on the water film as the water flows in. Paved surface: approx. 7.00 m Ø, sphere: approx. 1.50 m Ø, length × width: 2.85 m × 2.85 m, height of the base: 0.55 m
Fh	Erratic well	United Nations Square location	1994	Adalbert Maria Klees (Nature and Green Space Office)	in function The fountain was created in 1994 on the area of ​​the former Lenin monument . 14 large boulders were placed on a level surface made of natural stone paving, the largest boulder weighing 24 tons. The stones are made of granite of different colors, which are a symbol of the five continents that are permanently inhabited.
Fh	Two fountains	Rüdersdorfer Straße 20–27 location	1980		In front of the Ellen Key School, an elongated rectangular pool (4 by 8 meters) is embedded in a wide lawn on both sides of the access path. A fountain gushes in the middle, the basin is framed by rose bushes. In autumn 2017, however, only the western basin was in function, the other was dry.
Fh	Floating ring	Strausberger Platz location	1967	Fritz Kühn	After its completion, the ornamental complex on the newly designed lawn was initially only called New Fountain . The ring placed around the round basin with a diameter of 30 meters is five meters high and has 16 patinated, hand-driven and four-meter-high copper plates on its outside, which are intended to symbolize different crystals . The height of the fountains can be regulated depending on the wind; the maximum spray height is 17 meters. It is surrounded by more graduated fountains. 43 low fountains gush evenly between the fountain basin and the stands for the ring. In 2008 the district office had individual well elements renovated.
Fh	Source of earth	Traveplatz location	1994/1995	Adalbert Maria Klees (Nature and Green Space Office)	From a large boulder placed on the ground floor, water constantly runs out of nozzles attached above. The stone is located in the center of a circular square with small paving at the intersection of footpaths. Outside the fountain season, the stone is often used for climbing (see picture).
Fh	Sea fountain large pond	Volkspark Friedrichshain location	1997	Adalbert Maria Klees (Nature and Green Space Office)	Several small fountains are grouped in a circle around a central fountain.
Fh	Fairytale fountain	Volkspark Friedrichshain location	1913	Ludwig Hoffmann , figures: Josef Rauch , Ignatius Taschner (animal figures on the arcades), Georg Wrba	After the end of the Second World War , large parts of the facility had to be renewed. Pool: 54 m × 34 m; Fairytale characters: shell limestone , children's groups: sandstone , is a listed building
Fh	Water bell	Volkspark Friedrichshain location	1973	Achim Kühn	A metal construction renewed in 2002 (in the original dimensions, but now made of stainless steel ) with a height of five meters sprays the cool water in a slightly open water jet into a round basin about 13 meters in diameter. The inside of the pool is lined with small round tiles, the upper edge forms a wider ring at seat height. According to the artist's intention, the system should look like a large floating lens .
Fh	drinking fountain	Volkspark Friedrichshain location	around 2015	Berliner Wasserbetriebe	Type 1 fountain , completed in the winter season
Fh	Dolphin fountain round fountain	Volkspark Friedrichshain location	1913	Ludwig Hoffmann , Georg Wrba	When it was inaugurated at the same time as the fairy tale fountain, the fountain had no separate name. Only later was it called the Dolphin Fountain after the group of four children playing with dolphins . However, according to the latest findings, no dolphins are shown, which is why the designation round fountain according to an information board near the fountain system was used. A fountain rises high from the middle of the low well basin. The sculptures are made of sandstone . Around the round pool with a diameter of eight meters is a park-like rondel with benches and other sculptures, including two with a simple fountain function.
Fh	Sea fountain Small pond	Volkspark Friedrichshain location	around 1990	Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Green Spaces Office
Fh	waterfall	Volkspark Friedrichshain	around 1900		As an inflow to the swan pond (today's Great Pond ) there was a waterfall that emerged from an artificial rock plateau around 1900 . When the anti-aircraft bunkers were built on the park hill in 1940 , those responsible had the waterfall removed and parts of the pond filled in. - With the reconstruction of the park at the beginning of the 21st century, the waterfall, also known as the mountain stream, was rebuilt.

Fh	Hippopotamus fountain	Wühlischplatz location	1978 renovated in 1997	Nikolaus Bode	A circular stone fountain bowl 1.70 meters in diameter rests on three block-shaped sandstone plinths on a round foundation. On the edge of the fountain bowl is a hippopotamus on a plinth , on which two small hunter figures can be seen. The animal sculpture is a replica because the original was stolen in 1991. The hippopotamus and the hunter are cast from bronze, but not true to scale.
Kr	Fountain pavilion	Adalbertstrasse corner Waldemarstrasse location	1988	Bernhard Strecker	not in function In the center of a square pavilion made of granite with an oriental design, there was a low stone well with a bronze gargoyle with a collecting basin in front of it.

Kr	two fountains	Dieffenbachstrasse 1 at Urbanhafen Lage	1970	Carl Wiesner	Two round basins (four meters in diameter) with stainless steel floors are embedded in a lawn in front of the Am Urban Clinic . Fountains bubble in the center, the water of which disappears into small drainage channels at the edge of the pool. The fountain is surrounded by round steel bodies that are between 1.60 and three meters high. (The coordinate points to the eastern basin.)
Kr	Well and a hand pump	on the Chamissoplatz location	1989	Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg Green Space Authority and Josef Merck & Sohn	In a square fountain basin (side length around five meters) at street level there are rectangular stones made of light Iberian granite . The stones are of different heights (the highest about 50 centimeters) and different widths and were distributed over the pool surface in such a way that the impression of a labyrinth is created. The fountain basin is framed with panels made of the same material, with benches on the edge. At the same place there is a two meter high cast of a historical hand pump, installed in 1990, which was made by Stenger Pumps in Stuttgart. Their water flows through a stone channel into the nearby sand playground.

In its basic form, it forms a roughly 35 m long hull, which is based on the history of the Spree barges, and a conceptual connection to a "ship of fools" or "sitting in a common boat" should be expressed. The individual elements show simplified forms of the human body, but also completely abstract forms. Granite, sandstone, ceramic and metal were used as materials.
Kr	drinking fountain	Feilnerstrasse 3 location	around 1900		not in function (1996) On a square three meter high column of shell limestone is a ball with an eagle on it. From a wrought-iron pipe approximately half the height of the column of water could run by operating a pump handle in a round sump.
Kr	Wooden fountain	Fraenkelufer 38, on a courtyard location			From a vertically erected and hollowed trunk 2.50 m high, water escapes sideways, which falls into a long tree trunk worked out as a trough. At right angles to the first trough there is a second one, into which the water runs and from there it passes through a channel into an artificial pond.
Kr	Pond run , stream run	Goerlitzer Park	1989	Free Planning Group Berlin (FPB)	A pump was cleverly hidden in the earth on a flat hill, with which a spring is imitated. The water flowing out of a metal nozzle flows into a flat basin made with small stones, which opens in a spiral and is connected to a second basin. This has a brick outlet on one side, from where the water falls and finds its way to a pond as an artificial stream with banks as natural as possible and accompanied by rich vegetation. The source is then fed again underground.
Kr	House well	Goerlitzer Park	1994	Rainer Fest	The largely natural stone block (about 2 m × 2 m and about 50 centimeters high) is a sub-volcanic effusion rock and comes from Limburg an der Lahn. When the system is complete again, the stone is covered by a small wooden house.

The promenade lies in the extension of Falckensteinstrasse and invites you to linger with benches.
Kr	Wrangel well	Grimmstrasse corner Urbanstrasse location	1877	Hugo Hagen	Residents of Pariser Platz had commissioned the ornamental fountain from the sculptor in 1863, but after completion the Berlin administration did not have it set up on this square, but on Kemperplatz in 1877 . There it had to make way for another well in 1902 and was finally moved to its current location. In a marble basin with a diameter of seven meters is a well with two flat, evenly corrugated bowls placed one above the other. The water flows from a pine cone in the middle above over a first narrow drip tray. Below are four putti with their backs to the column , symbolizing trade , industry , science and the arts . The water flows into the basin on all sides from the bowl with a diameter of about three meters at its feet. Under the second bowl there are allegories for the main Prussian rivers of the time - the Vistula , Rhine , Oder and Elbe in bronze. Which figure stands for which river is not entirely clear, the artist has not made any assignment.

The material, a dark granite rock, was designed with a high-low structure with vertical waves and designed in a cascade shape. The fountain is surrounded by a semicircular wall, forms the beginning of the watercourse and stands in a ground-level round fountain bowl. All fountain elements are surrounded by mosaic paving and a low concrete wall.
Kr	Big fountain	Hallesches Ufer 40–60 in front of the Postbank Tower location	1971/1972	Gottfried Grunow	18 free-standing, differently designed bronze columns in graduated heights (highest column three meters) form a rectangle with sides of four and six meters.

The drinking fountains of the water company

The ambiguous inscription "Drink water"
fountain in Volkspark Friedrichshain , still covered in March 2017.

Charlottenburg Kurfürstendamm 225 drinking fountain type 2

The municipal supplier, Berliner Wasserbetriebe , has developed two types of drinking fountains and installed them in public places, preferably in heavily frequented areas, throughout Berlin's urban area. At the end of 2016, a map showed 32 installation locations. The free and touchless refreshment directly from the water pipe is popular with strollers, shoppers and tourists. Even dogs can find refreshment in the drainage area. The wells installed on the streets and squares are only operated between May and October due to the risk of frost.

Type 1 : The small one-meter-high pillars with a diameter of about 40 centimeters, cast from bronze , show five reliefs on top of each other on topics of the history of Berlin in their lower part . The designs come from the designer Siegfried Kaiser, the first models were created in 1985. The water bowl is shaped like a basket and covered with a grid. A small jet of water constantly rises from a brass ball on the side. Technical measures inside the column guarantee the best drinking water quality.

Type 2 : The 1.05 m high columns, cast from aluminum , are visually divided into six equally high segments by cross markings and have a slightly oval cross-section, the design comes from the Berlin designer Marcus Botsch. On one side of the upper edge is a flat bowl with a diameter of 50 centimeters, from the center of which a fine jet of water also rises steadily. This type, also known as the Berlin drinking fountain, has no ornaments, but looks extremely elegant and is also suitable for installation in the interior of larger companies.

OT	Surname	Address location	year	Artist	Brief description with picture if necessary
Fh	Boy with dog	Weberwiese	1929	George Morin	The city had an ornamental fountain set up on the Weberwiese , the central figure of which was a stone-throwing bronze boy with a dog. The fountain basin was made of shell limestone.
Fh	fountain	Andreasplatz location	around 1897	Hermann Blankenstein	The Andreasplatz was redesigned as a jewelry square on behalf of the Berlin magistrate from 1896 . Among other things, he received a fountain with a round marble basin. The long marble bench with the flanking base sculptures of craftsmen with son (father group) and mother with child (mother group) and the basin disappeared in the 1960s. What remained are the father group (newly set up on the eastern side of the street) and the mother group, which were given a place in the Volkspark Friedrichshain . A department store was built on the site of Andreasplatz, which was de-dedicated.
Fh	Ornamental fountain	Büschingplatz	before 1900		In a small green area on the former Büschingplatz, between former Landsberger Strasse and former Mehnerstrasse , there was a decorative fountain. In a round basin there was a two-tier fountain stick, from which water poured in the middle above and poured over a bowl below on all sides onto another larger bowl. At the center of this bowl were sculptures. The water flowed from four overflows in the second bowl into the stone basin set into the lawn. Büschingplatz was de-dedicated after the Second World War and combined as an area with Landsberger Platz to form the (today's) United Nations Square .
Fh	Water lily fountain	Friedenstraße 68 at the corner of Palisadenstraße Lage	1986	Rüdiger Roehl , Jan Skuin	When asked about the fountain's whereabouts, the district office announced in March 2017: “Unfortunately, the fountain had become completely inoperable due to vandalism and theft, so we had to give it up in 2014. [...] A reconstruction is not yet planned for cost and organizational reasons. “The hexagon of the pool can still be seen on the paved area of ​​the footpath. In the concrete basin, clad with sandstone , there was a 1.30 meter high well, which was surrounded by bronze calyxes and leaves of water lilies (see picture). Before dismantling, there was a single bronze leaf and the water pipe on the edge of the pool.
Fh	fountain	Karl-Marx-Allee 70, in front of the former culture house of the construction workers	1952		The one-storey culture house was in the immediate vicinity of the Stalin monument and was demolished in the late 1960s in order to build new residential buildings. The small ornamental plant with flower beds and a fountain also disappeared.
Fh	two fountains	Landsberger Platz			On Landsberger Platz, which was de-dedicated in the 1960s, two round fountains with cascades of fountains in a flower area were located some distance from a war memorial and dominated the entrance to the Friedrichshain park . The jewelry complex was removed, and since the redesign of the United Nations Square, the eastern section of the Friedenstrasse has been running in its place.
Fh	Splash	Traveplatz	1929	Erwin Barth	The Schmuckplatz , which was laid out in 1890 according to a design by Hermann Mächtig , was redesigned by Erwin Barth in 1929 and on this occasion was given a paddling pool and a flower garden.
Kr	Pamukkale fountain	Görlitzer Park location	1998	Wigand Witting and the Free Planning Group Berlin (FPB)	Large parts of it demolished in 2010 The fountain recreated the limestone terraces, which are world-famous under the name Pamukkale , in a smaller format. The sculptor used light-colored Portuguese lime sandstone with a high proportion of iron oxide as the material. In 2009, the district office ordered a partial demolition of the well because it showed signs of severe decay and thus represented a high safety risk. Investigations had shown that the artist had used unsuitable material and, in ending a lawsuit that had lasted for years , had to pay 1.1 million euros to the district.
