Parnassus Fountain (Hanover)
The Parnassus Fountain (also: Apollo Fountain ) was a baroque art fountain installed in the Calenberger Neustadt near Hanover - a fountain on the Neustädter Markt .
history
The art fountain was created at the instigation of the absolutist ruling Duke Johann Friedrich under the direction of Johann Duve . Hieronymo Sartorio delivered the model in 1671 . The technical installation had been in the hands of Michael Riggus since 1678 . Initially, the fountain was fed by double pipes that led from the pond in the kitchen garden to the Neustädter Markt. From 1778 the fountain was fed by the river water art on the Leine south of the Leineschloss, which works with four pumps .
Parnassus , the mountain of the muses , was depicted as a rock grotto with symbols of the four continents known at the time . Also Apollo , nine muses and twenty allegorical figures on the balustrade . The fountain was crowned by a horse with the coat of arms of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg .
In 1802 the well was demolished. It is still unclear (as of 2009) where the fountain figures remained.
