The Hygieia Fountain in Hamburg
I recently spent a weekend in Hamburg to visit friends. While exploring the city my attention was caught, for some reason, by the fountain situated in the courtyard of the city hall, and the sculptures that surround it. It's called Hygieia Fountain.
Hygieia as the goddess of health and hygiene in Greek mythology and its surrounding figures represents the power and pureness of the water. It was built in remembrance of the cholera epidemic in 1892, the former technical purpose was air cooling in the city hall
