The Neptune Fountain in Berlin was built in 1891 and was designed by Reinhold Begas. The Roman god Neptune is in the center. The 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 removed from its original location at the Schlossplatz in 1951, when the former Berliner Stadtschloss (Berlin City Palace) there was demolished. Eventually, after being restored, the fountain was moved in 1969 to its present location between the St Mary's Church and the Rotes Rathaus. The diameter is 18 m (59 ft), the height is 10 m (33 ft).[citation needed] There was another well-known Neptunbrunnen in Breslau (nicknamed \Gabeljürge\ or \Georgie Fork\ by the locals), but it was destroyed during World War II and the city was later transferred to Poland.
The fountain made of granite and bronze, by Waldemar Otto, shows a group of Greek/Roman gods sporting in the water. I’m not sure how interactive it’s supposed to be. The steps seem to lead you to the water edge – and perhaps even dangle your feet in on a hot day. It seems to invite kids to jump in and play among the gods.

Toller Brunnen. Das Zusammenspiel der alten Fassaden und des modernen Brunnen ist ein super Kontrast
Echt schöner Brunnen. Ein schöner Platz zum verweilen. Ich bin immer wieder fasziniert von dem tollen Wasserspiel.
Vom Design her, ungewöhnlich, aber nicht schlecht gemacht...!
der brunnen ist von waldemar otto ex-prof hfk hb überseestadt wo i mein flat habe. den brunnen hätte fritze stein ex-dozent hfk hb machen müssen. von otto der ist zu bürgerlich u zu realistisch. auch fehlt der bezug zu dem in unmittelbare nähe liegenden hirichtungsstein u dem abgeschlagenem kopf darunter von GESCHE gottfried.
