Guided Story

Can you hear that gentle sound of water? It's like a whisper from the past. This fountain originally stood in front of the Aachen Hauptbahnhof before finding its home here in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Allee in 1923. Look closely at the figure of Triton, the sea god. Locals affectionately call him 'Wassermann'. Created by sculptor Carl Burger, this piece has been captivating visitors for over a century. If you turn south, you'll see the historic Gut Colynshof, another treasure of Aachen's rich tapestry. Take a moment to soak in the art and the peaceful surroundings.
