The
Fountain
of
Justice
(Gerechtigkeitsbrunnen
in
German)
is
a
historic
fountain
located
in
the
Römerberg
square
in
the
Altstadt
(old
town)
of
Frankfurt,
Germany.
It
is
one
of
several
fountains
in
the
Römerberg
square
and
is
known
for
its
elaborate
design
and
symbolism.
The
Fountain
of
Justice
was
constructed
in
the
late
16th
century,
during
the
Renaissance
period.
It
was
designed
by
the
Flemish
sculptor,
Johann
Hocheisen,
and
features
a
statue
of
Lady
Justice
on
top
of
a
tall
column.
The
statue
is
surrounded
by
four
smaller
figures,
representing
wisdom,
moderation,
courage,
and
faith.
The
fountain
has
a
rich
symbolism,
with
each
figure
representing
a
different
virtue
or
aspect
of
justice.
Lady
Justice
holds
a
sword
and
scales,
symbolizing
the
impartiality
and
balance
of
justice.
The
four
smaller
figures
represent
the
virtues
necessary
for
a
just
society,
including
wisdom,
moderation,
courage,
and
faith.
Today,
the
Fountain
of
Justice
remains
a
popular
tourist
attraction
and
is
an
important
symbol
of
Frankfurt's
history
and
cultural
heritage.
It
is
also
an
important
landmark
in
the
Römerberg
square,
which
is
recognized
as
a
UNESCO
World
Heritage
site.
