Background
The bronze fountain “Flötenspieler” stands in the arcade of the Bern Conservatory on the Rathausgasse side. In 1938 the city held a competition for the fountain, which Max Fueter won with his design. The fountain was set up in 1940. Max Fueter (1898–1983) was a Swiss sculptor, draughtsman and watercolourist.
