Sb	Children's fountain	Barbarossaplatz location	1913	Constantin Starck , Heinz Spilker	At every corner of an octagonal pool, children's figures sit on the edge, their gaze directed towards the center. In the center of the basin, supported on snail-shaped feet, an octagonal bowl with a central fountain rests on a base. The water falls over its edge into the basin. The figures were melted down during the Second World War and restored by Heinz Spilker based on photos in 1989.
Sb	Round fountain	Frobenstrasse 12–17 location	1981	Scherhag company	In the middle of a round basin there is a mushroom fountain on a three-tiered hill. The water emerges as a small fountain in the middle and runs over the hill into the basin.
Sb	Four street fountains	Steinmetzstrasse / Alvenslebenstrasse location	1971	Scherhag company	On both sides of Alvenslebenstrasse there are two fountain sculptures in a suggested hollow. Four or five octagonal plates are arranged one above the other, offset around a central axis. Below the top water flows out, drips from stone to stone and runs off through drains in the hollow.
Sb	Small fountain Nollendorfstrasse	Nollendorfstrasse location	1980	Scherhag company	A stone pillar stands on a small hill, surrounded by an implied hollow with drains. At the top it is worked out into a basin and provided with a fountain. The water flows over the edge and drips off the column.

Sb	Deer fountain	Rudolph-Wilde-Park location	1912	August Gaul	In the middle of a large, round basin made of shell limestone, a column resting on a base carries a gilded standing stag, the heraldic animal of Schöneberg, which shines in the light from a great distance. Twelve high fountains and four broad gargoyles are grouped around the column, creating a particularly impressive water image. When it gets dark, the facility is atmospherically illuminated. The fountain was renovated in 1957.
Sb	Age (south well)	Wittenbergplatz location	1985	Waldemar Grzimek , Hartmut Bonk , Fee Franck, Christian Höpfner	An oval mushroom, surrounded by twelve sculptures, stands in a basin that is only blurredly delimited from the surrounding area and lined with rough or natural stones. The water emerges at the tip of the mushroom as a small fountain, falls like a veil over the edges of the cover shell and relates the individual figures to one another: the Berlin window -gazer who scrutinizes the passers-by in the direction of the subway station, a lying youth, a sitting and a reclining girl, an old woman almost hidden behind the water veil, a seated woman and a group of putti with a greyhound, as a humorous allusion to the Neptune fountain and the dogs of Friedrich II designed by Schadow. Waldemar Grzimek had designed three more figures, but could no longer do them To run. He died in 1984. Christian Höpfner created the seated couple and the standing young man together with Hartmut Bonk. The two non-representational sculptures, which border the front of the fountain on the left and right and allegorically stand for the female and male principle, were made by Fee Franck. → Main article : Fountain on Wittenbergplatz

In a round basin with a diameter of 10 m there is a smaller basin with the fountain. Originally, the fountain was framed by flower beds, which were replaced by multi-colored paving based on patterns from the plant ornaments once created by Encke in order to provide more space for strollers. The square was redesigned in 1957 according to modernist principles, but restored in its original form in 1979 as part of a redesign taking into account monument conservation requirements. In 1994/1995, the last essential step was the repair of the fountain with the large fountain, the visual reference point of all the streets leading to the square, visible from afar.
Fr.	Cecilien Gardens fountain	Cecilie Gardens location	1990	unknown	A central fountain is located in a 26 x 18 m oval basin in the central part of the residential complex.

The water flows, forming a transparent film, over the pillars into the paved basin. The area around the fountain and the pool surround were renewed in 2008. Where once numerous flowers adorned the square, one encounters a plain paved area today. The pool surround, on the other hand, made of concrete at the time, was visibly enhanced by a color-coordinated granite surround.
Fr.	Erica fountain	Adam-Kuckhoff-Platz location	Destroyed in 1911 in 1943, redesigned in 1982	Emil Cauer the Younger	A bowl (3 m diameter) with four upstream platforms stands on a two-tiered base with a diameter of 5.70 m. Two identical putti sit on opposite sides with their backs to the basin and hold a bowl over their heads from which they pour water. On the other two platforms are group sculptures facing each other: two playing putti with a goose or a fish as gargoyles in their arms. A fountain is also installed in the middle of the pool. The fountain, which was destroyed in 1943, was restored in 1982 based on photos. Two figures were freely recreated by Heinz Spilker .
Sb	Fountains on the town square (light fountain)	Kaiser-Wilhelm-Platz location	2007	BLS Energy Plan (ARGE)	The square was rebuilt from 2006 to 2007 with the aim of connecting the large triangular central island to the eastern sidewalk and thus improving the mobility for pedestrians and the quality of stay in this local center. On July 5, 2007, the converted square was reopened. In the place of the former Kaiser Wilhelm monument, a light fountain system was installed, new pavement paved, bicycle bars and benches with stainless steel feet, nostalgic bollards and a protective grille were set up. Four fountains bubble up from seven square stainless steel elements, which are lined up in the natural stone slab area of ​​the square at a distance of 1.60 m. The changing water height from a few centimeters to a height of 1.80 m and the different colored lighting in the dark give the facility a varied appearance and give the popular shopping area a new look.
Sb	Gardener's fountain	II. Eythstrasse municipal cemetery, location	1910	Hermann Hosaeus (probably)	The old, but very well preserved, well is located in the southern part of the cemetery. In the middle of the octagonal well basin rests on the well stock, an octagonal column, the sculpture of a kneeling gardener with watering can. Between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m., water flows into the pool from four thin pipes arranged symmetrically around the well. The feed takes place via a deep well, from which all other water points in the cemetery are supplied. Excess water from the well basin is drained to the "Krummen Pfuhl" via an overflow basin. After technical modernization, the well was put back into operation in early July 2008 after a long shutdown.

Water sprays up from the hills. Both systems are started in alternating rhythm. The water flows off in watercourses and drains on both sides. The watercourses are provided with field stones, boulders and small bridges and delimit the green area on the long side and connect the spray puddles on the east and west sides. The beaver fountain also belongs to this facility: A beaver stands on a boulder, which is flattened at the top and has been worked out into an indicated basin, between two low drinking water fountains. The water flows from the stone into an upstream drain. The fountain was created in 1989 based on a design by Rose-Marie Stiller.

The drinking fountains of the water company

overview

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 105 centimeter high pillars, cast from aluminum , are visually subdivided 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.

Drinking fountain in the district

OT	What type	Location location	when set up	Picture and details
Fr.	Type 2 drinking fountain	Breslauer Platz	2018	With the first installation decisions of the district office in 2017, the construction of a drinking fountain based on the “Vienna model” was favored. There was then a long period of disagreement between the district officials and a citizens' initiative at Breslauer Platz about the equipment and the exact location . This resulted in the most cost-effective solution of a "mouth sprinkler" from BWB.
