Discover more about Schweizer-Brunnen
The Schweizer-Brunnen, a gift from the Swiss Association in Liechtenstein, is more than just a fountain; it's a modern sculpture that engages with water in an innovative way. Created by renowned Swiss artist Roman Signer, the fountain is located in Städtle, Vaduz. Signer's work shifts the perception of water from the visual to the audible, encouraging individual experiences.
The fountain's design features steel walls with openings, creating a connection to its surroundings.

The Schweizer-Brunnen is easily accessible and surrounded by cultural heritage sites, museums, and galleries.

Roman Signer's "action sculptures" often involve experiments with precisely planned setups, resulting in explosions, collisions, and objects moving through space. He presents cause and effect as an artistic version of a scientific experiment. The Schweizer-Brunnen embodies this innovative spirit, offering a unique blend of art, water, and the alpine environment.
