The Wolfsbrunnen (also: Rotkäppchenbrunnen ) is a fountain in the center of the Bavarian capital, Munich . It was created in 1904 by the sculptors Heinrich Düll and Georg Pezold . The clients were Adolf and Apollonia Wolf, who immortalized their names in the cityscape.
In a basin made of Treuchtlingen marble there is a column that carries a representation of Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf cast from ore . Four wolf heads are set in as gargoyles at the foot of the column . The ore works are from C. Leyrer. The fountain is decorated with Art Nouveau ornaments.
