Wittelsbacher Brunnen

4.7 ·

Take a short break at the Wittelsbacher Brunnen, a monumental fountain beside a quiet park on Maximiliansplatz. Study the sculpted bull and horse riders up close, and return in the evening to see the lit water.

📖

Full description

The Wittelsbacher Brunnen marks the start of a green public space on Maximiliansplatz, built in the late 1800s. Two sculpted figures, one riding a bull and the other a horse, anchor the composition, and the stonework draws praise from visitors for its detail.

The water is illuminated after dark, which makes the evening a good time to see it. It is open around the clock and free to visit, and a 15-minute stop is plenty.

Reviewers describe the surroundings as calm, with people sitting beside it to read or study.

Reviews

Cool fountain that begins a public park space with a venue directly behind it. They were having a party the evening we passed it.
