Guided Story

Look over to your right and you'll see the Dombrunnen, positioned just south of the east choir of the Augsburg Cathedral, right on the Domplatz. This fountain showcases a stone sculpture group of the three diocese patrons: Bishop Ulrich, Saint Afra, and Bishop Simpert. Standing at just 0.3 meters tall, it harmoniously blends into the historic backdrop. These figures embody the spiritual roots and protection of the Augsburg diocese. Notice how the fountain preserves the legacy of these significant figures in stone. Just a short walk away, about 54 meters to the northwest, you'll find the impressive architecture of the Cathedral of the Visitation.
