World Fountain ( AKA Wasserklops), 1983

located directly in front of the Europa Center at Breitscheidplatz. The well is one of the most popular meeting points for street entertainers in Berlin and you can see anything from acrobats and pantomimes to portrait artists.

The Weltkugelbrunnen AKA World Fountain or Water Ball has provided a refreshing addition to the City West district and forms the center of a sunken square along the south-east edge of the Breitscheidplatz directly in front of the Europa Center.

This hemispherical fountain made of red granite and bronze captivates onlookers with its figures, stairs, geometric shapes and carvings, especially when the water is allowed to flow over it and collect in the basin at its foot.
