Located in the heart of Munich on Maximiliansplatz, the Nornenbrunnen is a stunning Art Nouveau fountain designed by Hubert Netzer in 1907. Crafted from Kirchheim shell limestone, it features the three Norns, Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld, leaning against a large water bowl, with water flowing from three mouths into shallow basins below.
