Janus Fountain Aequaduct
Designed in 1988 by Tomi Ungerer for the 2000th anniversary of Strasbourg in 1998, the fountain symbolizes the city's culture, influenced by France and Germany alike.
The sculpture with the double-sided Janus head stands for the "birth of civilization" and was built from 5,000 bricks. The 1.50 m high bronze Januskopf, symbol of Alsatian history between France and Germany, was created by sculptor Denis Roth.

JanusHead symbolizes duality in laws like creation/destruction, life/death, light/darkness, beginning/end, future/past, left/right etc. The realization that everything divine always has an opponent in it. Both sides of duality always elude objective evaluation and are therefore neither good nor bad.

If the water stands up to their neck (mouth), this could mean the downfall!
