Alman Cesmesi (German or Kaiser Wilhelm Fountain)

The German Fountain, which is the last and the latest work in the Hippodrome Square (now it’s the Sultan Ahmet Square), is dated as 1898. The German Emperor, who was impressed by the hospitality that he experienced in İstanbul during his second triphad built this elegant fountain, whose project was prepared by himself on his return to his country. The fountain, which was sent to İstanbul by train, was reassembled in the Hippodrome, Atmeydanı with its present name.
