    (Translated by Google) A beautiful historical fountain in the Gothic style located directly on the market. It is worth visiting. And here wishes come true when you turn the golden ring. There are two of these, the non-golden one also brings luck, so wish my loved ones with heart and mind. I wish you the best of luck! Hygiene measures are largely observed. Mask requirement. Parking spaces are available for a fee. If you liked or helped the recession then I look forward to a LIKE your Sina.

    the beautiful fountain is part of Nuremberg's historic mile . Built in 1396, it stands on the edge of the main market next to Nuremberg Town Hall . The Beautiful Fountain is around 19 meters high and has the shape of a pinnacle-decorated Gothic spire. The forty colored figures of the fountain represent the world view of the Holy Roman Empire on four floors . From below these are: Philosophy and the Seven Liberal Arts , the Four Evangelists and the Four Fathers of the Church , the Seven Electors and the Nine Good Heroes , Moses and seven prophets. many legends stand behind this iconic Monument. try to fill the canon to get some water.

    I had the pleasure of visiting the Schöner Brunnen in Nuremberg, and I must say, it left me utterly captivated. This awe-inspiring fountain is a true testament to the city's rich history and artistic brilliance. From its intricate design to the fascinating legends surrounding it, the Schöner Brunnen is an absolute must-visit attraction for anyone exploring Nuremberg. The craftsmanship of the Schöner Brunnen is nothing short of extraordinary. The delicate stone carvings and meticulous attention to detail make it a true work of art. Each side of the fountain tells a unique story, with statues representing various religious figures, mythological creatures, and significant historical events. I was left in awe as I discovered the intricate nuances hidden within every corner of this magnificent structure. One of the highlights of visiting the Schöner Brunnen is the opportunity to interact with the "Beautiful Fountain Ring." Legend has it that those who turn this golden ring embedded in the fence surrounding the fountain will receive good luck and have their wishes granted. It was a delightful experience to witness people from all walks of life participate in this tradition, adding an element of charm and community to the atmosphere. The location of the Schöner Brunnen is perfect, situated right at the heart of Nuremberg's Hauptmarkt. Surrounded by bustling market stalls and vibrant city life, the fountain becomes a focal point and an emblem of the city's heritage. It's a wonderful place to sit, relax, and soak in the atmosphere while admiring the stunning architecture and the buzz of the surrounding area. Whether you're a history enthusiast, an art lover, or simply looking for a unique cultural experience, the Schöner Brunnen is an absolute gem that shouldn't be missed. It provides a glimpse into Nuremberg's vibrant past and offers a sense of wonder and enchantment that is sure to leave a lasting impression.

    (Translated by Google) A really lovely fountain in the central square. Very smart, colorful, with a lot of figures and fanned with legends and omens. Various historical characters are located on several tiers - scientific and religious figures, kings and chiefs, apostles and prophets, more than four dozen figures. (Original) Действительно прекрасный фонтан на центральной площади. Очень нарядный, разноцветный, с массой фигурок и овеянный легендами и приметами. На нескольких ярусах расположились разные исторические персонажи - научные и религиозные деятели, короли и вожди, апостолы и пророки, более четырёх десятков фигур.

It is around 19 meters high and has the shape of a pinnacle decorated Gothic steeple. During the Second World War, the Schöne Brunnen was wrapped in a concrete jacket and therefore survived the bombing unscathed. The myth of the brass ring, which was forged seamlessly into the iron lattice, also has a legend. One of the rings is also considered a lucky charm, according to a legend, if you turn it, children will be given a blessing. Usually the brass ring is considered to be the lucky charm, but many Nuremberg residents believe that the iron ring is the "real ring" and thus the lucky charm. So it's best to turn both. *************************** The Schöne Brunnen, which was built from 1385-1396 by Heinrich Secret, is one of the sights of the city of Nuremberg and is part of the Nuremberg Historical Mile and is located on the edge of the main market right next to the Nuremberg City Hall .

Er ist rund 19 Meter hoch und hat die Form einer fialen geschmückten gotischen Kirchturmspitze. Im Zweiten Weltkrieg wurde der Schöne Brunnen in einen Betonmantel gehüllt und überstand daher unversehrt die Bombardierung. Der Mythos des Messingrings, der nahtlos in das eiserne Gitter ein geschmiedet wurde, hat auch eine Sage. Einer der Ringe gilt ebenfalls als Glücksbringer, einer Sage nach wird mit Kindersegen bedacht, wer daran dreht. Meist wird der Messingring für den Glücksbringer gehalten, aber viele Nürnberger glauben, der Eisenring sei der „echte Ring“ und damit der Glücksbringer. Also am besten beide drehen. *************************** The Schöne Brunnen, which was built from 1385-1396 by Heinrich Secret, is one of the sights of the city of Nuremberg and is part of the Nuremberg Historical Mile and is located on the edge of the main market right next to the Nuremberg City Hall.

    This is our third visit to Schoner Brunnen and we love coming here. When we were first here in 2010, we found the fountain a bit disturbing but that was because we didn't understand it. Now we come to Schoner Brunner every time we are in Bavaria and admire the figures and the light hearted messages.

    (Translated by Google) Legend has it that if you turn the golden ring of the beautiful fountain once, three wishes will be fulfilled, it is believed that if you turn three times you will have many children The beautiful fountain in Nuremberg's main market symbolizes the theocentric worldview in the Middle Ages, with its pyramid shape tapering towards the top. Seven liberal arts as well as philosophy, four evangelists with representatives of the clergy, seven electors authorized to elect emperors with nine heroes of world history, and finally Moses, with seven prophets, are arranged from the bottom up in four rows. (Original) Efsaneye göre, güzel çeşmenin altın yüzüğünü bir kez çevirirseniz, üç dilek yerine getirilir, üç kez dönerseniz birçok çocuğuzun olucağını inanılır Nürnberg'in ana pazarındaki güzel çeşme, tepeye doğru sivrilen piramit şekli ile Orta Çağ'daki teosentrik dünya görüşünü simgeliyor. Felsefenin yanı sıra yedi liberal sanat, din adamlarının temsilcileriyle birlikte dört evanjelist, dünya tarihinin dokuz kahramanıyla birlikte imparatorları seçmeye yetkili yedi seçmen ve son olarak yedi peygamberle Musa, dört sıra halinde aşağıdan yukarıya doğru düzenlenmiştir.

    The "Beautiful Fountain" in Nuremberg consists of four tiers with 40 colorful figures personifying and representing: science, philosophy, liberal arts, and religion. Gargoyles in the lower part of the fountain symbolize the seven deadly sins and are also designed to protect the city from dishonesty. Rotate the rings and make a wish!

    Schöner Brunnen (en:beautiful fountain) is a 14th-century fountain located on Nuremberg's main market next to the town hall and is considered one of the main attractions of the city's Historical Mile. The fountain is approximately 19 meters high and has the shape of a Gothic spire. The fountain was built by Heinrich Beheim from 1385 to 1396. The two brass rings embedded in the fence surrounding the fountain on opposite sides are said to bring good luck to those who spin them.

    Ah, the Schöner Brunnen—quite literally, the "Beautiful Fountain"—is a magnificent specimen of craftsmanship that graces Nuremberg's Hauptmarkt. Conceived in the 14th century and later replicated in the early 20th century, this 62-foot high structure is more of a spire than a fountain, embodying the flamboyant Gothic architecture of its time. To access this sculptural wonder, you can simply take a stroll through the central market square of Nuremberg's Altstadt. It is near-impossible to miss, given its towering presence amidst the bustling market life. But ah, the myths! Legend has it that turning the golden ring embedded in the intricate iron grille surrounding the fountain will bring good luck. This superstition has transformed the ring into a shiny, almost ethereal object, perpetually polished by the hands of hopeful visitors. Another tale suggests that turning the ring three times grants a wish. While the efficacy of these rituals remains a topic of lively debate, the allure of participating in such a long-standing local tradition is undeniable. The Schöner Brunnen is not merely a fountain; it's a piece of Nuremberg's soul, a timeless relic that connects generations past, present, and future.

    This fountain has an interesting story that the local tour guide told us. Let's skip to the best part - With 2 rings where one is gold in colour & the other in black. According to the tour guide that many made a mistake because it was supposed to use your left hand instead of the right & to turn clockwise 3 times for a wish. I was there in May, but I didn't realise it. However, in Oct, I (supposed) do the right thing 😆.. so let's wait for my wish to come true 🤞🏻 The intrinsic work of art of this fountain is very outstanding due to its colour & in the morning when the sun shines, it looks majestic.

    The Schoner Brunnen is the highlight of market square. It translates literally as "Beautiful Fountain" and it indeed lives up to its name. It was built in the fourteenth century to resemble a church spire. It was saved during the bombings of World War II when the city protected it by encasing it in a concrete shell. Be careful though, as it appears to be just a beautiful piece of art until a local (usually a local child) comes up to activate the fountain :-)

    (Translated by Google) The Schöne Brunnen in Nuremberg is on the main market. There it can be viewed from all sides and also captured in the picture. From the main market you can explore Nuremberg in a star shape. Already on the main market there are some buildings that can and want to tell some stories, because these buildings want to tell their story and what revolves around them. The staff if you join a tour is well prepared. The evaluation was not Bought or Bought - it was personally experienced. (Original) Der Schöne Brunnen in Nürnberg steht am Hauptmarkt. Dort kann er betrachtet werden von allen Seiten und auch im Bild festgehalten werden. Vom Hauptmarkt aus kann man Nürnberg Sternförmig Erkunden. Den schon allein am Hauptmarkt befinden sich einige Gebäude die einige Geschichten erzählen können und auch wollen, den diese Gebäude möchten ihre Geschichte erzählen und was sich um sie dreht. Das Personal falls man sich einer Führung anschließt ist gut Vorbereitet. Die Bewertung ist nicht Erkauft oder Gekauft worden sie wurde persönlich erlebt.

    Schöner Brunnen (beautiful fountain) is a 14th century fountain located on Nuremberg's main market next to the town hall. The fountain features 40 sculptured figures which reflect the world-view of the Holy Roman Empire: In the most upper level Moses with the Decalogue tablets and prophets of the Old Testament; Amos, Isaiah, Joel, Hosea, Daniel, Jeremiah and Ezekiel. On the second level represent the four Evangelists and Early Fathers. On the third level there are the figures representing secular and ecclesistical dignitaries. The most lower level (My most favourite is devoted to the seven liberal arts and philosophy. 1-Pythagoras holding a fluite the subject music. 2-Ptolemaeus with a quadrant the science astronomy. 3-Euclid geometry. 4-Nicomachus arithmetics. 5-Aristotle represents dialectics. 6-Cicero represents rhetoric. 7-Aelius Donatus grammar. 8-The list of figures is completed by Socrates who represents philosopy.

    The ‘Schöner Brunnen’ is one of the most beautiful fountains I have ever seen and is placed at the central place of Nuremberg. A ring embedded in the fence surrounding the fountain is said to bring good luck to those who spin. Legend has it that if you turn the "golden" ring of a beautiful fountain once, then three wishes will come true, and if you turn it three times, you can expect many children. According to the plan, the purpose of the fountain was to display the worldview of the statehood of the Holy Roman Empire and the theocentric worldview of the Middle Ages. Throughout history, the fountain has been restored and rebuilt several times.

    Nice place. This is beautiful fountain located in central square in Nuremberg. This is holy place. There is one ring on the fountain which is to move by your hands and while moving you have to make a wish which will be fulfilled in future. Such a historic story behind this place. During Christmas time, you can't see this fountain due to crowd.

    Renovated just a year ago, the Beautiful Fountain is in its full glory, with elaborate figures and vivid colors. Do not forget to turn the ring, attached to the fencing, so that your good luck can bring you back to Nuremberg. Being a prominent landmark on the Market square, the Bautiful Fountain makes a perfect meeting point.

    Der "Schöne Brunnen" wurde Ende des 14. Jahrhunderts kurz nach dem Marktplatz und der Frauenkirche errichtet. Hauptattraktion der über hundert Jahre alten Kopie des Brunnens am Hauptmarkt ist ohne Zweifel der drehbare gold schimmernde Ring, der auf geheimnisvolle Weise ohne Naht in das Gitter eingefügt wurde und Wünsche erfüllen soll.

    (Translated by Google) I really like the fountain. At the moment there aren't that many tourists and you can take a look at the design. When the sun is shining, the top of the tower shines even more beautifully. (Original) Mir gefällt der Brunnen wirklich gut. Momentan sind nicht so viele Touristen unterwegs und man kann sich die Gestaltung auch Mal in Ruhe anschauen. Bei Sonnenschein glänzt die Turmspitze nochmal so schön.

    One of the most interesting things to see at Hauptmarkt in the historic centre of Nuremburg is Schöner Brunnen, a delightful 14th-century fountain that resembles a Gothic spire found in the northwest corner of the square. This is a 19-metre high monument that is the work of Heinrich Beheim (1385-96). It includes numerous figures, gilded gargoyles and other intricate details that make for several minutes of good viewing. The fountain is surrounded by a decorative, vine-like gate. At a set up steps, you find two brass rings which visitors touch and spin for good luck. Note: For good pictures, you can stand to the northwest of Schöner Brunnen and capture both the fountain and historic Frauenkirche in the background.

    Beautiful classic dwell, lots of history. They say it brings luck impregnating your wife or girlfriend when you spin the wheel as male: I did it a couple of times before I knew it over the years - hope I am not a dad!

    The fountain is around 19 meters long. It has very interesting shape - it looks like Gothic Spire. It was built in the 14th century. It is located on the main market. This fountain is actually a replica, rebuilt, and restored a few times throughout the centuries. It survived II World War. There are several legends - if you touch rotating brass ring once , you can have three wishes. By turning it three times, you can expect many children.

    In the center of Nuremberg's beautiful plaza is an incredible shrine. It is absolutely gorgeous to look at. With its golden reliefs and detailed sculpts around it, it is a must see in person.
