Löschbrunnen

Abstract

This beautiful ornamental fountain with its phoenix gargoyle is dedicated to Heinrich Philipp Loesch (1826-1896), a wealthy master shoemaker who made the municipality of Bern his sole heir and stipulated that the interest income from the estate was to be used for the upkeep or restoration of the monumental fountain and the painted fountains of the city.
