Fountain of Friendship

The fountain in the center of Alexanderplatz is called Völkerfreundschaft wurde der Brunnen, meaning the source of friendship between people. It is covered in graffiti that give a slightly alternative feel. Built in the 70s during a phase of larger works to fix the Alexanderplatz. A group of artists around the teacher Walter Womacka. The fountain has a diameter of 23 meters and is more than six feet high. In heat, there are people who get wet and children bathe! The water exits from the highest point and then goes through 17 levels having a diameter between one and four meters. It is a protected monument started in the eastern part of the city and was neglected for lack of money.
