This fountain just north of Albertplatz is called the Artesian Apparently the fountain was built because it was the site of an artesian well, but never fulfilled its purpose of providing drinking water because the well pressure was to low to provide enough water. The fountain features a classically inspired monopteros as it's centrepiece, surrounded by a large circular basin about 2 metres in radius. There are I think plenty of goldfish in the basin. They look well fed. Okay to take a quick look of you have time, but don't bother otherwise.

Interesting historical. Fountain system at Albertplatz in Dresden. The fountain is connected to the fountain house on the high-rise building (Artesian fountain!)

(Translated by Google) Like a relic from the past, the Templetto from 1806 designed by Hans Erlwein seems to me to be in the street. It is a surprising and at the same time lovely sight, an object that could stimulate dreams. Miners from Freiburg needed almost three years to build the water supply in 1832 to drill down to a depth of 245 meters, from which the well's water rises under its own pressure. Due to the depth from which the wet pearls up, it shows a constant temperature of 17-18 ° Celsius. The actual water outlet is located offside, in the small pyramid-shaped covered cottage at the beginning of Antonstrasse. Enough of the beauty and decorative ambience, however, Erlwein framed the small ornate fountain temple in a round pool of water. Eight pillars, on which a dome pans, frame a water fountain. Goldfish are exposed to the ornament in the basin. The name Artesian derives from the landscape Artois in France. Artesian wells, whose peculiarity is the independent supply of water, are also available in completely different designs, for example in heaths, as a simple water basin. An idyll that invites you to linger in the hustle and bustle of the city, creating a moment of relaxation. (Original) Wie eine Reliquie aus vergangener Zeit, wirkt mir der von Hans Erlwein entworfene Templetto aus dem Jahr 1806 im Strassenbild. Es ist ein überraschender und zugleich lieblicher Anblick, ein Objekt das zu Träumen anregen könnte. Bergleute aus Freiburg benötigten beim Bau der Wasserzufuhr 1832 beinah drei Jahre, um die 245 Meter Tiefe zu erbohren, aus denen das Wasser des Brunnens unter Eigendruck aufsteigt. Durch die Tiefe, aus der das Nass heraufperlt, zeigt es eine konstante Temperatur von 17-18° Celsius. Der eigentliche Wasseraustritt befindet sich abseits, in dem kleinen pyramidenförmig gedeckten Häuschen am Beginn der Antonstrasse. Der Schönheit und dem dekorativen Anspruch genügend, gestaltete Erlwein jedoch den kleinen verzierten Brunnentempel in einem runden Wasserbecken. Acht Säulen, auf denen eine Kuppel trohnt, umrahmen eine Wasserfontäne. Goldfische sind zur Zierde im Becken ausgesetzt. Die Bezeichnung Artesisch leitet sich von der Landschaft Artois in Frankreich ab. Artesische Brunnen, deren Eigenart die selbständige Wasserzufuhr ist, gibt es auch in völlig anderen Gestaltungen, etwa in Heiden, als schlichtes Wasserbecken. Eine Idylle, die zum Verweilen vor der Hektik der Stadt einlädt, einen Moment der Entspannung aufkommen lässt.

Very beautiful historical fountain on Albertplatz/Neustadt - great eye-catcher, nice photo opportunity, it was clean and well maintained when I was there... serves as a meeting point for many, the Goldene Reiter is nearby

The fountain is very beautiful, it's not his fault that it's at such a big intersection. You make an effort, you can tell...

(Translated by Google) good meeting place (Original) guter treffpunkt

(Translated by Google) Something like that is rare. What many do not know is that the actual well (the well) is a bit further away. The fountain house is located at the Simmel Center (Original) Sowas gibt es selten. Was viele aber nicht wissen ist dass der eigentliche Brunnen (das Bohrloch) etwas weiter weg ist. Das Brunnenhäuschen befindet sich bei dem Simmel Center

(Translated by Google) The fountain is fed by a natural spring and is therefore the only well in Dresden that is not turned off in winter. (Original) Der Brunnen wird von einer natürlichen Quelle Gespeist und ist daher der einzige Brunnen in Dresden der im Winter nicht abgestellt wird.

It's actually a really nice fountain, unfortunately it's not really maintained

EXTRA!!!

When I go shopping to the Simmelmarkt next to the erm. When I go to the "Verkehrsbetriebe Hochhaus" I walk past the fountain, and I usually do the same when I walk to the main street. Unfortunately the goldfish are no longer in there but at least the dirt and garbage is out, the only question is for how long. Certain fellow citizens are anxious to restore the littered state as quickly as possible. The water jet was already significantly higher, is there a lack of water or are the pipes clogging up?

Unfortunately it seems a bit unkempt. You don't have to see it, there is so much else to admire in Dresden.

Nice little antique looking well within the city

(Translated by Google) It is pretty, the Erlwein fountain from 1906, which pumps spring water from a depth of almost 250 meters: with Ionic column capitals, it looks antique.
