The "Fastnachtsbrunnen" is located at the Schillerplatz in Mainz. It stands as a synonyme for the clownish season in Germany (between 11. November and Eastern).

Unveiling was at 1/14/1967. Building took 3 years.

Artist: Blasius Spreng/Munich

The fountain shows many elements of the carnival in Mainz. Such as Till Eulenspiegel, the harlekin or the tomfool. Also regional references are shown, e.g. the father Rhine or grape-vines.
