Fountain of joy.
Rostock, Germany.
The Brunnen der Lebensfreude, or Fountain of Joy, is one of Rostock’s most famous landmarks, located on the Universitätsplatz in the city centre. Created in 1980 by sculptors Jo Jastram and Reinhard Dietrich, it features lively bronze figures symbolising vitality and happiness. The playful design, with water splashing over people, animals and mythical creatures, makes it especially popular with children and visitors in summer.
