We could say that Vienna It is the city of fountains and bridges, as there are more than 1000 bridges, four times the number in Venice. Did you know? Interesting, but it also has a lot of historical sources and that makes it one of the most beautiful and lively cities in the world. And you can drink water from all of them!
The source you see in the photo is the Donnerbrunnen, a fountain that was built in 1739 on the Neuer Markt: it had nude figures, allegories of the tributary rivers of the Danube, but they were quickly removed by Empress Maria Theresa and her Chastity commission. These statues have not yet returned to the source and are kept in the Baroque Museum. The fountain was sculpted by Georg Raphael Donner, a renowned artist who is also responsible for several Baroque-style sculptures in the city. This particular fountain is made of marble and has some Roman gods surrounded by the nude figures I mentioned earlier, the Ybbs, Traun, Enns and March rivers.
I said that the original figures were no longer in their place but the fountain is not dismembered as bronze copies have been placed in their place.
