German Fountain
The fountain was constructed to commemorate the second anniversary of German Emperor Wilhelm II's visit to Istanbul in 1898. It was built in Germany, then transported piece by piece and assembled in its current site in 1900. The neo-Byzantine style fountain's octagonal dome has eight marble columns, and dome's interior is covered with golden mosaics



Der Brunnen wurde im Jahre 1900 im Andenken an den Besuch des deutschen Kaisers Wilhelm II. in Istanbul im Jahre 1898 errichtet. Er wurde in Deutschland hergestellt und in einzelnen Teilen nach Istanbul verschickt um dort an seinem heutigen Ort zusammengesetzt zu werden. Der neobyzantinische achteckige Kuppel wird von acht Marmorsäulen getragen. Das Innere der Kuppel ist mit goldenen Mosaiken versehen.
