Minerva - Free Audio Guide

The Minervabrunnen, situated in the Cathedral Square of Erfurt, is the oldest remaining fountain in the city, built in 1784. It showcases a statue of Minerva, the Roman goddess of wisdom, representing craftsmanship, art, and science. The fountain stands as a testament to the proud civic identity of Erfurt during its cultural flourishing under Karl Theodor von Dalberg. Visitors can access drinking water from the fountain, available year-round except during winter. Having undergone multiple restorations, including a significant one in 1992 for the city's 1250th anniversary, the Minervabrunnen is an essential stop for anyone interested in the history and cultural significance of Erfurt.
