Römerbrunnen

4 macedonboy - 2 years ago

This fountain can be found on Komödienstrasse, next to Kölnisches Stadtmuseum
and close to the ancient Roman city walls. Although the fountain actually has nothing to do with the Roman period except for the theme of the fountain. The fountain takes it's inspiration from Italian fountains, decorated with images of Romans and is topped with a tall column where stands a sculpture of the wolf that suckled Remus and Romulus, the mythical founders of Rome.

One of the more interesting fountain in Cologne, but only visit if you have time as it's well off the tourist circuit of the city.

Simple fountain (not functioning) with the wolf that was nursed by Romulus and Remus

From the cathedral, the Komödienstraße leads to the castle wall, where the famous Roman fountain stands. Franz Brantzky built the fountain as early as 1915, but heavy wartime destruction made a restoration necessary in 1955. Perched on a pillar, the wolf, who according to legend, nursed the Roman city founders Romulus and Remus.

Nice, quiet and difficult-to-find spot with a nice fountain
