Mendebrunnen - The largest and at the same time splendour-fullest well plant of the Leipziger of city is the Mendebrunnen. It is on the
Augustusplatz before (new) the
garb house and is that keeps remained part of the old place ensemble only. This oldest component of the Augustusplatzes was inaugurated in the year 1886. The architect Adolph Gnauth and the sculptor Jacob Ungerer built partially water speienden figures in the baroque style for the Mendebrunnen with its. It was designated after Marianne Pauline Mende, which financed the building of wells
The oldest received well plant of the fair city: The Mendebrunnen
Namensgeberin of the well is Marianne Pauline Mende († 1881), widow of the buyer Ferdinand William Mende, which donated by will 150,000
Goldmark „for the building the city of adorning well of monumental architecture at a free space in the proximity of the internal promenade, perhaps between the museum and the new theatre “. To its motives
Egon Erwin Kisch, Mende mutmasste owner of a brothel was and wants with the generous legacy their frevelhaftes terrestrial doing to sühnen. The legend turned out later than (possibly intended) mistake. The construction costses for the plant amounted to nearly 189,000 Goldmark. They could be not completely covered by the donation capital increased around interest. The deficit of approximately 7,000 Goldmark could be applied however from the deduction of the Leipziger of buyer
Franz Dominic Grassi. Starting from 1883 the well in the style of the
Neobarock under the direction of upper's building advice became
Adolf Gnauth from Nuremberg, after whose death of the advice of building of cities

light. The figure ensemble created the Munich sculptors
Jacob Ungerer.
Allegorie on the water: The Mendebrunnen in the detail
The Mendebrunnen is to be understood as a
Allegorie on the meaning of the water for humans. The maritime representations embody shapes of the Greek mythology: Equivalent twice
triton, the son of the
Poseidon, is represented with human torso and doppelschwänzigem fish body. The triton figures zügeln itself
Hippokampen strong rearing up, fabulous creature half horse, half fish, which can be interpreted as control of the Meeresgewalten by humans.
The Nereiden on the consoles nearly 18 m of the high Obelisken symbolizes the use, which humans draw from handling the sea. Gnauth and Ungerer followed both in the basic concept of the well and in the selection and organization of plastics famous models of the Italian
baroque. The purchases are unmistakable to the Roman wells on the
Piazza Navona, the Fontana del Moro and the
four-current well sketched by
Bernini. The motive of the figure ensemble could be inspired by Niccoló Salvis
Fontana di Trevi in Rome.
The inauguration of the Mendebrunnens took place on 2 September 1886. 1970 the plant because of the building of the garb house was dismantled and only in June 1982 its original location in enterprise taken. During the building of the underground parking under the Augustusplatz (1996-98) the well a further mark was dismantled.
