City of Fountains

Bern has well over 100 fountains.

Eleven still feature the original statues with their allegorical figures.

These fountains dating from the 16th century:

– Justice Fountain (Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen),

– Ogre Fountain (Kindlifresserbrunnen),

– Zähringen Fountain (Zähringerbrunnen)

and others, bear testimony to the wealth of the bourgeoisie at that time.
