Justitia-Brunnen (Fountain of Justice) by Friedrich Schierholz, 1887
Römerberg, Altstadt
Frankfurt, September 2024
“The Fountain of Justice (also known as the Justitia Fountain) is a fountain on the Römerberg in Frankfurt am Main and one of the city's landmarks. It dates back to a previous building on the same site in 1543 and was built in its present form in 1611. During the time of the Holy Roman Empire, it played a special, albeit short-lived, role as a wine fountain for the emperor during the coronation ceremony, and later also for the people. The fountain currently on display is a largely faithful copy from 1887, financed by the Frankfurt wine merchant Gustav D. Manskopf.” (Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen, Wikipedia)
