The Ship's Propeller Fountain at Waren's city harbor is a striking work of art and technical monument that, since its construction in 1999, has commemorated the city's maritime and industrial tradition. The fountain was designed by Mecklenburg sculptor Walther Preik (1932–2018), who left behind numerous works in public spaces. The central element of the fountain is a stylized ship's propeller, which serves not only as an artistic object but also as a symbol of Mecklenburger Metallguss GmbH (MMG). This Waren-based company, founded in 1875, is one of the world's leading manufacturers of ship propellers used on the world's oceans. A special feature of the fountain is the rotating water movement in the basin, which recreates the flow and rotation of a real propeller, thus creating a dynamic connection between art and technology. For visitors, the fountain is not only a photogenic landmark, but also an impressive example of how regional industrial history can be integrated into the cultural design of public space.
