Ball fountain
Fountain on the Neuer Markt The fountain is one of the best-known works of the recently deceased craftsman Franz Poppe: an artist of the town of Waren (Müritz). The popular fountain (erected in July 2003) on the Neuer Markt was designed by the Waren ceramicist.

Ball fountain in Waren (Müritz) - a work of art in the middle of the town

The spherical fountain on the Neuer Markt in Waren (Müritz) is one of the most striking works of art in the region around the Mecklenburg Lake District. Although the Baltic coast of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern - from Rügen and Usedom to Fischland-Darß-Zingst - is known for its natural beauty, the inland areas of the federal state also offer remarkable cultural sights. The fountain was installed in July 2003 and is one of the best-known works by Waren ceramist Franz Poppe.
