Brunnen Warnminner Umgang (Warnminner Dealings Fountain), Rostock
The Warnminner Umgang Fountain, situated in Alexandrine Street, is a captivating landmark that pays tribute to the Warnminner dealings—an important local tradition in the town's history. This tradition involved a festive parade of the well-dressed citizens of Warnemunde, which occurred each time the former fishing village appointed a new representative to the city of Rostock.
The fountain artistically brings this historical tradition to life. It features 19 bronze sculptures that seem to move gracefully on the fountain, accompanied by an attractive water feature.
As part of Warnemunder Week, the Warnminner Dealings is reenacted as a lively procession that winds its way through the town center. This fountain serves as a delightful reminder of Warnemunder's rich history and its enduring traditions.
