"In the "Kreislauf des Geldes" (“money cycle”), euros and cents wander from one hand to the next.
The fountain was created in 1976 by Karl-Henning Seemann. The people shown symbolise avarice, greed, patronage and begging. Just like money, the water in the fountain flows all year round, since it is fed by the thermal springs. In the summer in particular, the fountain is a popular meeting point for Aacheners and visitors to the city, and for young and old looking to cool down in the flowing water."

"Der Kreislauf des Geldes ist ein 1976 von Karl-Henning Seemann geschaffener Brunnen in Aachen. Er befindet sich in der Hartmannstraße am Ende des Elisengartens. Der von der Sparkasse Aachen finanzierte Brunnen wird in Kurzform meistens Geldbrunnen genannt. Im Jahre 2007 wurden die Brunnenfiguren saniert.

Beschreibung

Das Wasser dreht sich gegen den Uhrzeigersinn. Es fließt auch im Winter, weil es sich um warmes Wasser aus den Aachener Thermalquellen handelt.

Kreisrund sind verschiedene Figuren am Brunnen aufgestellt, die alle mit Geld zu tun haben. Sie stellen den Geiz, die Gier, die Gönnerhaftigkeit und die Bettelei dar. Zusätzlich ist dargestellt, wie ein Vater seinem Kind den Umgang mit dem Geld erklärt."

EN (Translation):
"The cycle of money is a well in Aachen created in 1976 by Karl-Henning Seemann. It is located in the Hartmannstraße at the end of the Elisengarten. The fountain financed by the Sparkasse Aachen is usually referred to as the Geldbrunnen. The fountain figures were renovated in 2007.

Description

The water turns counterclockwise. It also flows in winter because it is warm water from Aachen's thermal springs.

Various figures, all of which have to do with money, are set up around the fountain. They represent avarice, greed, patronage and begging. It also shows how a father explains how to handle money to his child."
