This fountain is so called because the centrepiece of the fountain is a sculpture of Saint Peter, who can be identified by his holding the keys to heaven. The centrepiece features four lions acting as the foot of the pedestal and supporting three circular basins joined together to form a sort of clover leaf. The statue of Saint Peter stands at the centre, above the basins. The interesting thing is that water flows from outlets of the edges of the basin as well as the mouths of the lions. That and I've never seen one of the apostles as the centrepiece of a fountain. A nice fountain to visit along with the cathedral.

The Petrusbrunnen should be photographed when visiting Cologne Cathedral. Cast images of the Pope are also not far away at the St. Peter's Fountain, the cathedral shop is opposite the fountain. Have fun at this point. Greetings from Bergisch. Greet from Germany near Cologne

In the south-east of the cathedral on the Pope's Terrace of Cologne Cathedral near Roncalliplatz on the square dedicated to John XXIII, there is a beautiful fountain in the Renaissance style from 1870 (e.g. you pass by on the way to the Museum Ludwig). It is dedicated to Peter, who stands above as a stone fountain figure. It was only rebuilt here in 2010, so I can't remember it during my time as a student until 1966. My photo shows it in the evening, and the Christmas market is already around at the end of November 2019.

(Translated by Google) A historic fountain which had to give way from its original location during the construction of the cathedral slab and was rebuilt appropriately. (Original) Ein historischer Brunnen der beim Bau der Domplatte von seinem ursprünglichen Standort weichen musste und hier passend neu errichtet wurde.

Petrusbrunnen is right next to the cathedral and is worth a look. Personally I think it's really beautiful together with the church. An architectural masterpiece and definitely recommended.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful fountain with a moving story. Donated by Empress Augusta, it was erected in 1870 in the axis of the cathedral, directly behind the cathedral choir. It was stored for years during reconstruction works of the cathedral area until it finally took its present place in 2010. The fountain is operated by the city of Cologne. (Original) Schöner Brunnen mit einer bewegten Geschichte. Gestiftet von Kaiserin Augusta wurde er 1870 in der Achse des Doms, direkt hinter dem Domchor aufgestellt. Bei Umbauarbeiten der Domumgebung wurde er jahrelang eingelagert bis er schließlich im Jahre 2010 seinen heutigen Platz einnahm. Betrieben wird der Brunnen von der Stadt Köln.

Beautiful fountain next to Cologne Cathedral

A small, pleasant fountain next to the Cathedral with a sculpture of Saint Peter with the keys to heaven. Built in 1870.

A really cool fountain right next to the cathedral.

The Petrus Fountain does not lose its charisma even in winter and is not in the shadow of Cologne Cathedral but next to the cathedral not far from the entrance to climb the tower. The fountain complements the symbolism regardless of religion.

I was here for the first time in 2002 and I remember this place best, I really like it

Unfortunately there was no water in the fountain which would have made it look nicer (and it was July)

Perfect pleace..

Beautiful fountain next to Cologne Cathedral

Super

Nice cathedral, very rich history behind and a difficult challenge to go up to the top of the tower. Good experience especially in good weather when you may see the city...

Nice place!

It is a beautiful church with very old and tall carvings. The mind was very happy.
