The Klatschweiberbrunnen in Dresden is a figural fountain whose name references the archetypal 'gossip woman' — a staple of German folk humor. Sculptural fountains with such everyday characters were a common feature of German inner cities in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Precise construction dates and the sculptor are not reliably documented. Today the fountain serves as a small, locally recognized landmark, typically encountered during a stroll through the city center.
