Planetenbrunnen

Planetenbrunnen stands in the Arkadenhof, the arcaded courtyard of the Linzer Landhaus in Linz, Austria. The fountain belongs to Linz’s public art inventory. Its name means Fountain of the Planets, linking the work by name to celestial bodies. The available record gives no specific design details about planetary forms. The courtyard places the fountain within a historical building that serves as a government building. Covered arcades frame the open courtyard around the fountain. Linz catalogues Planetenbrunnen as public art under catalogue number 212. The fountain forms part of the Landhaus ensemble, where historical architecture meets a public artwork in a central courtyard. The site connects art, architecture, and public space. Planetenbrunnen also appears in photographic and media archives as a mapped feature of Linz. Recorded coordinates identify the fountain’s location within Linz. The Linzer Landhaus and its courtyard contribute to Linz’s cultural and architectural heritage. Linz was European Capital of Culture in 2009.
