Artesischer Brunnen (Artesian well) by Hans Erlwein, 1906 Albertplatz
Dresden, September 2024
“The artesian well at Dresden's Albertplatz is a spatially separated fountain ensemble consisting of a well house, a drinking fountain, and a fountain with a water basin. The artesian well was drilled northwest of Albertplatz by Freiberg miners between 1832 and 1836 to supply Dresden's Neustadt district with clean water. The water from the 243.25-meter-deep well emerges through natural pressure and flowed year-round until June 21, 2023. Due to the small amount of water, the well was never able to fulfill its original purpose.” (Artesischer Brunnen, Wikipedia)
