The Fountain of Neptune
Neptunebrunnen
The Neptune Fountain in Berlin was built in 1891 with the Roman god Neptune in the center. Four women around him represent the four main rivers of Prussia at the time the fountain was constructed: the Elbe (with the allegorical figure holding fruits and ears of corn), Rhine (fishnet and grapes), Vistula (wooden blocks, symbols of forestry), and Oder (goats and animal skins). The Vistula is now entirely in Poland, while the Oder forms the border between Germany and Poland.
The fountain was moved in 1969 to its present location between the St Mary’s Church and the Rotes Rathaus.
