A nice spot to enjoy the morning sun listening to the calming sound of the fountain. This fountain is symbolises the Carnival tradition of Mainz. Mainz is one of the top 3 biggest cities in Germany where Carnival season is celebrated, starting from 11. November every year until the day before Ash Wednesday (Catholic tradition) the next year. From mid September onwards there are independent wine booths where visitors can taste "Federweiße", which is freshly made wine that is still fermenting in the bottle.

Brunnen is same as fountain in English. Fasnacht is a fried doughnut of German origin and served during days of CARNIVAL which is on Shrove Tuesday, the day before Lent begins. In Mainz you can find a unique and large fountain depicting the festive characters of Carnival. This is nice to see! In addition, I visited the small Mainzer Fastnacht museum dedicated to the history. While interesting, I would not go out of my way to visit. It took a little time to locate and is not too far from the fountain. The Tourist Service Center shows it on their map. Cost is minimal and you can see everything in about 10 minutes. The "fools" hats and large paper mache heads are part of the tradition. A floor map shows the parade route which is approximately 7 km in length. Glad I learned more about the history ... my rating reflects the fact that it is not a major attraction.

The Fastnachtsbrunnen in Mainz is located on Schillerplatz on the corner of Schillerstraße and Ludwigsstraße . The monument is supposed to symbolize the foolish season . After three years of construction, it was unveiled on January 14, 1967, with great interest from the people of Mainz. It is just a tower with various artifacts. The area was covered with temporary food stalls due to carnival.

Der Fastnachtsbrunnen gefällt mir sehr gut, weil er etwas ganz besonderes hier bei uns in Mainz am Rhein ist. Die turmartige Brunnensäule ist fast neun Meter hoch und mit mehr als 200 Figuren aus Bronze versehen. Die Brunnensäule steht in einem runden Brunnenbecken aus rotem Sandstein. Wenn der Brunnen in Betrieb ist, dann läuft das Wasser von oben herunter und rundherum über alle Figuren herüber. Bei Sonnenschein gibt das sehr schöne Effekte. Es gibt unterirdisch wohl so eine Art von einem großen Sammeltank und ein Pumpsystem, womit das Wasser in einem Kreislauf durch die Säule hindurch nach oben gepumpt wird und dann wieder nach unten fließt. Ich schaue mir sehr gerne den Brunnen von allen Seiten an. Die einzelnen Figuren kann man sich am besten anschauen, wenn der Brunnen ausgeschaltet ist. Zeitweise wird der Fastnachtsbrunnen auch in der Nacht farbig beleuchtet. Sehr interessant ist der Wikipedia-Artikel über den Fastnachtsbrunnen in Mainz für all diejenigen, die mehr über dieses schöne Kunstwerk erfahren möchten, das mich schon seit sehr langer Zeit immer wieder aufs Neue fasziniert.

The Carnival Fountain in Mainz, is a neat and vibrant symbol of the city's joyous spirit. I could sit and observe the 200 carnival and mythology figures for an hour or more, you can understand it's part of Mainz's cityscape. Next year I'll be at the annual official Carnival declaration on November 11th from the Osteiner Hof balcony.

Karnaval Çeşmesi, bronzdan yapılmış yaklaşık 200 metrelik kule benzeri bir yapıdır ve 200'den fazla figür ve alegori ve bronz ile donatılmıştır Sembolizmin aptalın mutsuz dengesiz dünyasını göstermesi . Bu aynı zamanda bu anıt tarafından sembolize edilen yaşam lezzetinin kalıcı bir şey olduğu anlamına gelir. Çeşme ayrıca karnaval sezonunda "baş aşağı çevrilmiş" Mainz Katedrali'ni de simgeliyor . Bu özellikle Schillerplatz'ın batı yakasından Karnaval Çeşmesi'ne ve katedrale bakılarak görülebilir. Çeşme, Helmut Gräf tarafından tasarlanan kırmızı kumtaşından yapılmış bir havuzla sınırlanmıştır
