Ordinary water fountain. Entire Europe is filled with such fountains.
Another one of Munich's stunning detailed sculptures/fountains. It was the only fountain we saw during our visit in February, the rest are boarded up to protect them through the winter months.
Definitely one of the most beautiful fountains in the city, also used as a meeting point for tourists and locals
Interesting and historical monuments and fountains ⛲️with some sculptures inside it, just in the corner of Marienplatz.
A stone fountain with 3 young fishermen spraying the water and holding fiches. a great place with clear blue water to take a picture in Marienplatz.
Crowded on the day of visit. weather was really nice and streets were clean.
The building around this area is very historical and dated back centuries however preservation and maintenance is really excellent.
A good place for photo op or selfie.
will go again if opportunity permits.

The fountain is located in Marienplatz close to the information center. It can be easy to miss if it's really busy.
The fountain does look quite interesting with people holding buckets around the side and a single fish on the top of the fountain. The buckets all have water trickling from them. The sides of the fountain has carvings on it. It was an interesting looking fountain.

This Fischbrunnen is a fountain in the middle of Marienplatz called the Fish Fountain because of the sculpture of a fish atop a central column. The fish alludes to the past when the Marienplatz served as a market place and the fishmongers used to hang their still living goods in baskets in the fresh fountain water. Around the column is three young butchers apprentices pouring water into the basin of the fountain.
There's a tradition that on Ash Wednesday, the mayor and chamberlain of Munich will wash an empty wallet in the fountain to ensure that the city funds will be replenished again next year.
