Description
The Hochstrahlbrunnen at Schwarzenbergplatz was put into operation on October 24, 1873 by Emperor Franz Joseph on the occasion of the completion of Vienna’s first mountain spring water pipe. The developer Gustav Bruck was responsible for the construction of the fountain. On June 23, 1906, the Hochstrahlbrunnen was reopened in the style of a fontaine lumineuse by the architect Oskar Marmorek (1863–1909), and thus as a lighted fountain at night.
At the basin’s edge are 365 little waterspout fountains – these symbolize the days of the year. The six waterspout fountains between the basin’s edge and inner islands, as well as the islands themselves, represent the seven days of the week. Twelve high rays correspond to the 12 months, 24 low rays represent the 24 hours of the day, and the 30 rays in the island represent the 30 days of the month.
