    The fountain on Rathausplatz in Saarbrücken was created at the end of the 1950s and is a listed building.

    Fountain on the square in front of the town hall, in the background the administration building of the Sparkasse
    Edit story
    The fountain was built in 1959/60 on the triangular square in front of the Sparkasse administration building. It was donated by the Saarbrücker Kreissparkasse on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the city. The Sparkasse had announced a competition for this. This was won by a design by the architect Hans Ulrich and the artist Max Mertz.
