The Rehbrunnen , also Hildebrandbrunnen , is located in the Bremen district of Mitte in the Bremen ramparts near the Herdentorswallmühle . The fountain is a listed building.

The fountain, created in 1933 and made of four bronze sculptures and a round granite base, was made by the sculptor Ernst Gorsemann . During the Second World War , the sculptures were melted down as " metal donations "; In 1949 it was restored. The well has been the victim of vandalism many times.

The fountain was donated by his friends and acquaintances in honor of and on the 80th birthday of Hermann Hildebrand .
Hildebrand (1849–1939) was a lawyer, since 1879 a member of the Bremen citizenship and since 1895 senator of the Free Hanseatic City of Bremen . His political focus was welfare. He was chairman of the German Red Cross in Bremen and head of the war welfare department during the First World War . In 1917 he became mayor of Bremen . In 1919 he joined the liberal German Democratic Party (DDP). From 1919 to 1920 the Bremen National Assembly elected him to the provisional government of Bremen. The establishment of the unified school was his focus here.

In Bremen, Gorsemann created the memorial for the First World War (1935, ramparts), the Benquestein (1938, Bürgerpark ), the wisent (1940, Rhododendronpark ), the fawn (1954, Bürgerpark) and the Berlin bear (1955, ramparts) .
