I would not say that this fountain is very large, but it is very beautiful. In the center is an obelisk, at the base of which there are a lot of different sculptures. Or if you like, a whole sculptural group. This is a very convenient meeting place in this part of the city, as the fountain is located on a spacious area a little far from the main traffic and foot-passengers, surrounded by an opera, a university and several other buildings of different orientations. Nearby public transport and there are benches for relaxation. A beautiful fountain and it is very pleasant to place...

See how wonderful it looks in both the halves of day. Every Person who has visited Leipzig must have seen this masterpiece in front of Gewandhaus. Any time of day come and sit calmly here and watch how the modern lives move around passing this unique and heritage Monument. Easy to find this place, close to the 💓 of the city and Hoffe am Brühl. If you are not staying here in Leipzig and just come for 2-3 days, there are at least 5 places very nearby where you can rest your tired back after long walks and I bet this is...

Der Mendebrunnen befindet sich auf der südlichen Hälfte des Augustusplatzes vor dem (dritten) Gewandhaus. Um einen zentralen, ca. 18 Meter hohen Granit-Obelisken gruppieren sich mehrere zum Teil wasserspeiende Bronzefiguren in einem Wasserbecken.

Mendebrunnen

In ihrem Testament vom 9. April 1867 stiftete FrauMarianne Pauline Mende(1807–1881) der Stadt Leipzig einen Brunnen zur Verschönerung der Stadt. Am 4. Januar 1882 wurden dafür 150 000 Goldmark aus ihrem Nachlass ausgezahlt. Der neobarocke Entwurf für den Mendebrunnen stammte vom Nürnberger Oberbaurat Adolf Gnauth (1840–1884), die Bronzefiguren schuf der Münchner Bildhauer Jakob Ungerer. Da die Baukosten in Höhe von 188 726,03 Goldmark nicht vollständig durch das inzwischen auf 181 562,87 Goldmark angewachsene Stiftungskapital gedeckt wurden, erfolgte ein Zuschuss des fehlenden Betrages (7 163,16 Goldmark) aus dem Nachlass des Leipziger Stifters Franz Dominic Grassi(1801–1880). Am 1. September 1886 wurde der Mendebrunnen enthüllt.

In den Jahren 1970 bis 1982 wurde der Brunnen in demontierten Zustand gelagert, da die Fläche vorübergehend für den Bau des Neuen Gewandhauses beansprucht wurde. Am 28. Juni 1982 wurde der Mendebrunnen wieder in Betrieb genommen.

Ein zweites Mal war der Brunnen zwischen 1996 und 1998 demontiert, als die Tiefgarage unter dem Augustusplatz...

In Augustusplatz, great place to wait for friends. The Mendebrunnen is the only preserved part of the old square. The waterworks monument is magnificent. If in the area, you must visit the top floor of the nearby tower. Not very expensive, but offers great views all around Leipzig.
