Der Wolfsbrunnen (auch: Rotkäppchenbrunnen) ist eine Brunnenanlage im Zentrum der bayerischen Landeshauptstadt München. Er wurde 1904 von den Bildhauern Heinrich Düll und Georg Pezold geschaffen. Auftraggeber waren Adolf und Apollonia Wolf, die damit ihren Namen im Stadtbild verewigten.
In einem Becken aus Treuchtlinger Marmor steht eine Säule, die eine aus Erz gegossene Darstellung von Rotkäppchen und dem Wolf trägt. Am Fuß der Säule sind vier Wolfsköpfe als Wasserspeier eingelassen. Die Erzarbeiten stammen von C. Leyrer. Der Brunnen ist mit Jugendstil-Ornamenten dekoriert.

The Wolf Fountain (also: Rotkäppchenbrunnen) is a fountain in the center of the Bavarian capital Munich. It was created in 1904 by the sculptors Heinrich Düll and Georg Pezold for Adolf and Apollonia Wolf who immortalized their name in the cityscape.
In a basin made of Treuchtlinger marble stands a pillar carrying an ore cast representation of Little Red Riding Hood and the Wolf. At the foot of the column four wolf heads are embedded as gargoyles. The ore works are by C. Leyrer. The fountain is decorated with Art Nouveau ornaments.
"Little Red Riding Hood", is a European fairy tale about a young girl and a Big Bad Wolf. Its origins can be traced back to the 10th century by several European folk tales, including one from Italy called The False Grandmother, later written among others by Italo Calvino in the Italian Folktales collection; the best known versions were written by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm.
