The Hofbrunnwerk is a water-powered pumping station, which serves to supply the wells in the courtyard gardens of Hoftgarten. The Hofbrunnwerk is located just to the north side of the lower courtyard gardens.
Much of the old Hofbrunnwerk was destroyed in the Second World War and only some of the walls of the old buildings remain and restored as a free standing wall that actually looks picturesque. The pump room of the Brunnwerk is located in the underneath the Hofgartenarkaden and is open between 10am and 2pm, which allows you to visit the turbine room and watch the whole mechanism in action.
An interesting visit and worthwhile if in Hofgarten.
