Brunnenbuberl

A characteristic bronze fountain figure — a typical element of Munich's historic streetscape.

The Brunnenbuberl is a well-known fountain figure in Munich — a small bronze boy perched on a fountain. The motif of a chatting or playing boy recurs across several Munich city fountains and is part of the civic streetscape of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Those wandering through Munich's old town will encounter figures like this repeatedly — unassuming, but embedded in the city's memory.
