Guided Story
Can you hear the gentle splashing? That's the sound of the Brunnenstele rising before you. Look up and see its six meters of artistic expression, standing here in Berlin since 1966. That year, while England hosted the World Cup, Berlin gained this masterpiece of tranquility. If you look closely, you'll notice the flowing shapes, almost like dancers in the wind. Behind you, a bit to the north, is the Alexander von Humboldt monument. He was an explorer, much like you as you discover this urban oasis. Take a moment to let the city's hustle slowly fade away.
