God Neptune on the well of the same name

The list of fountains in Berlin 's Mitte district is an overview of the currently (as at: September 9, 2017) existing 87  fountains , water plants and ornaments public splash in all the districts of the central district. Not included are designed water basins in which there is no moving water.

Especially in the historic city center of Berlin , in connection with the extensive construction activity, the municipal authorities saw it early on to influence the artistic design of the public spaces and facilities. After the first isolated activities to maintain existing works of art (especially monuments), a “Municipal Deputation for Art Purposes” was established on November 13, 1893, consisting of five members of the magistrate and ten city councilors. This art commission received an annual art fund, which initially amounted to 100,000 marks (adjusted for purchasing power in today's currency: around 695,000 euros). Competitions could be initiated, juries financed and orders placed or works of art purchased. As a result, until the 1930s Berlin had , among other things, almost 100 decorative plants, mostly green spaces with flowers, fountains, monuments and small functional buildings.

According to the Senate , Berlin has a total of 270 ornamental fountains and sea fountains, the maintenance of which will be taken over by Berliner Wasserbetriebe from 2017 .

The second part of the list contains the no longer existing fountains and water features in the Mitte district.

The drinking fountains of the water company

Double inscription "Drink water"
Fountain in Volkspark Friedrichshain , drinking fountain type 1

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 pillars, cast from aluminum , are visually divided into five 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.

Although the work of art was conceived as a memorial , it had a pedestal below the statue , from which lion masks spewed water into the surrounding pool on four sides. At the end of the Second World War, the historic square in old Berlin was largely destroyed along with its surrounding buildings. It was not until 1988, after the square was restored, that the memorial was given its current location next to the main staircase to the theater . The character of the well was not taken into account again, i.e. it is permanently out of order. On the edge of the round fountain bowl sit four allegorical female figures symbolizing the poetry , drama , philosophy and history . A wrought iron enclosure at ground level protects the system.

This fountain was removed in 1875. When the garden was redesigned towards the end of the 19th century, two circular fountains were added along Leipziger Strasse to the left and right of the monument to Freiherr vom Stein . After the great war damage, the square no longer existed for a long time. The last renovation work took place in the 1990s, wells were no longer installed.
Wed	Two fountains	Gendarmenmarkt	Municipal Garden Authority	1895-1936	The Berlin Council decided in 1894 that "to be built as a conclusion to the whole system [of the Schiller Schiller Square and the monument] two fountains". The basis was a corresponding project by the City Garden Authority with the following details: "The two fountains are to be built on the ends of the lawns on both sides of the Schiller Monument to be occupied after Markgrafenstrasse . Their shape is to be adapted to the architecture of the Royal Theater as far as possible." two simple circular pools (“similar to those on Alexanderplatz”) with a diameter of ten meters and a pool depth of 1.35 m were covered with asphalt as usual. The water consumption would be around 25 m³ per hour. A connection to the municipal water supply had to be made for the inflow and outflow; among other things, new pipes had to be laid and the pipe diameters increased in existing ones. Construction began in the early spring of 1895, so the fountains could be switched on in the same year. All the work together resulted in costs of around 28,000 marks, which the magistrate confirmed. The objection of the head of the city council, Dr. Langerhans , "whether it is not advisable to build an elaborate fountain" was not pursued further. When the green spaces on the Gendarmenmarkt had to give way to a slab, the fountains that had been embedded in them also disappeared.
Wed	Two water fountains	Pleasure garden	Johann Heinrich Strack (square)	1871	The area of ​​the pleasure garden laid out around 1830, originally part of the palace complex, goes back to designs by Karl Friedrich Schinkel . When in 1869 for the erection of a memorial monument for the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm III. Space was created, Strack redesigned the green area and, among other things, added two water fountains symmetrically in the lawns in low circular pools. Until the redesign of the pleasure garden during the Nazi era, there were two fountains in the green between the castle and the Altes Museum, each in a circular stone basin. This fountain disappeared after the end of World War II. In a reminiscence of the Schinkelsche layout of the pleasure garden, the district administration had the modern fountain built in 2000 .
Mon	large fountain	in the former ULAP park	unknown		A historic postcard shows a large fountain in a low circular basin. Since the entire park was gradually redesigned, reduced in size, used for purposes other than intended or partially destroyed in the ZWK after the end of the eponymous exhibition, the multi-jet fountain system also disappeared.

Mon	Two wells	Small zoo	Willy Alverdes , Hans Nimmann	1960, dismantled in 2008	A fountain was located in an L-shaped concrete basin (9.50 m and 9 m long; 2.50 m and 4 m wide). The second well was a single Eternit bowl on a three-legged metal frame with a water outlet nozzle in the middle of a small bed of rubble. Both wells are no longer in operation.
Day	The nymph ( when bathing surprised Nymph ), part of Calandrellianlage	near the eh. Von-der Heydt-Bridge	Alexander Calandrelli	1885	The sculptor Calandrelli initially made the nymph fountain for the garden of the van der Heydt family's villa out of marble, and later the bronze figure , which was erected on Van-der-Heydt-Platz in 1897, was cast . The fountain system was later dismantled, the marble figure is an exhibit in the Ephraimpalais .
Day	Hercules fountain	at Lützowplatz	Ludwig Hoffmann , sculptor Otto Lessing	Oct 11, 1903	In the center of Lützowplatz was the three-tier Herkulesbrunnen, whose round basin was more than 20 m in diameter with a few swings, the bottom shell had a radius of seven meters, the top shell was around two meters. A number of figures cavorted between the bowls, the top of the 14.60 m high fountain was crowned by a bronze Hercules . The water ran from the uppermost bowl, which had ornaments on the outside, onto the level below, triangularly shaped and decorated with fantastic angel figures, column details and water-spouting fish heads. At the foot of the well, taller-than-man figures could be seen working in the basin with or against the flowing water. This fountain was created as a result of the work of the city's art deputation, because previously the free area served as a storage place for wood and coal. Hermann Mächtig had it redesigned according to his plans into a decorative square by 1900, on the north side of which the monumental fountain was then placed in the axis of the Hercules Bridge. At the end of World War II, the Allies bombed downtown Berlin, and the ornamental fountain was also destroyed. When the square was redesigned in the 1960s, the district office had the bronze depiction of Hercules and the Erymanthic Boar (artist Louis Tuaillon ), cast in 1937, set up roughly at the site of the earlier fountain.

Day	Roland fountain	Kemperplatz	Otto Lessing	Aug 25, 1902	The artist produced the work on behalf of and at the expense of Kaiser Wilhelm II. It was to serve as the end of the “Herrschergalerie” in Siegesallee. The fountain was made of red Swedish granite and was seven meters high. On a square base there was a symbolic roof turret in neo-Gothic style, under the roof of which craftsmen figures could be seen. A Roland stood on the roof ridge , made of lighter Norwegian granite. The high octagonal fountain basin had a frieze on the outside and pinnacles stood at the corners . The edge of the fountain and the decorative turrets had pointed roofs made of green enameled iron. The fountain stood on a five-step landing and was surrounded by an area delimited by hedges, it formed a roundabout. The well water streamed from two gargoyles on the figure pedestal into rounded stone bowls, one on each side. Here small, fine jets of water rose again in the air. Before that, the Wrangel Fountain stood in the same place , now in the Berlin-Kreuzberg district . In connection with the insane plans for the world capital Germania , the Roland fountain was supposed to be dismantled, but this no longer happened. On the other hand, he fell victim to the fighting and bombing at the end of the Second World War. The city administration had the remains of the fountain removed during the clearing work in 1947/1948 and the crossing Bellevue, Tiergarten and Viktoriastraße laid through it.

The square was given a mosaic pavement, the surrounding streets were renewed, new lanterns were put up and, among other things, an epoch-making fountain system was installed within sight of the large outside staircase. A path paved with paving divided the water decoration, which consisted of two half-basins, and the Bismarck memorial was finally erected as the focal point.
