Background
The “Henkerbrünnli” is a stone fountain set up directly in front of the building at Neubrückstrasse 19 in Bern. It was first installed in 1830 outside the outer Aarberg Gate and has since been moved several times. It is regarded as one of the finest classicist fountain ensembles in the city. Albert Stumpf is named as the artist, and further details on its making are not documented yet.
