Wolfsbrunnen

The Wolfsbrunnen (Wolf Fountain), also known as the Rotkäppchenbrunnen (Little Red Riding Hood Fountain), is a striking fountain in the center of Munich. It was created in 1904 by the sculptors Heinrich Düll and Georg Pezold to immortalize the names of its patrons, Adolf and Apollonia Wolf, in the cityscape. The Treuchtlingen marble basin supports a column topped by a cast-bronze figure of Little Red Riding Hood and the wolf. Four wolf heads serve as water spouts at the base of the column, while the metalwork was done by C. Leyrer. The entire fountain is decorated with characteristic Art Nouveau ornamentation and makes an appealing focal point for visitors to the Bavarian state capital.
