Hase-Brunnen
The Hase-Brunnen stands on Hanover’s historic marketplace, facing the Market Church beside the Old Town Hall. Neo-Gothic forms connect it visually with the restored medieval building. From its central post, a fisherwoman presents a carp towards the former fish market, while a gardener faces the flower market.
Conrad Wilhelm Hase designed the structure after restoring the Old Town Hall, and Hanoverian citizens funded it as a monument. Hermann Schaper designed the two market figures. Wilhelm Engelhard sculpted those women, while Theodor Maßler supplied the other figurative models, including Hanover’s three-leaf clover emblem. Water flowed again after postwar repairs, before marketplace repaving moved the structure.
Hard sandstone supports two stacked bowls, with four jets above and eight below emerging from lion heads. Copper lines the basins, while the exterior carries a patina-like coating. Look closely at the paired streams: one rises from the carp’s mouth, the other from the watering can.
