Berlin Arnswalder Platz fertility fountain (#2698)
I was on the tram and saw this bulky looking statuary fountain out the window, so had to check. The fountain (see also later picture) is the Fruchtbarkeitsbrunnen (fertility fountain) in Arnswalder Platz; due to the prominence of very large bulls it is popularly known as the bull fountain.
The fountain was commissioned by the Weimar Republic and finished in 1934. It had originally been intended for another park, but due to the weight of the statues (they're solid stone) another location had to be found and they ended up here. The fountain in the middle reportedly works, but isn't turned on.
I saw no comment as to why there was an assumed need for a fertility fountain. The Wikipedi page is in German: de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arnswalder_Platz
