Fountain of joie de vivre in Rostock - work of art on University Square
The Fountain of Joie de Vivre in Rostock is one of the most striking works of art in the Hanseatic city and a popular meeting place in the heart of the city. It was created by the Rostock artists Reinhard Dietrich and Jo Jastram and inaugurated on June 27, 1980 on University Square. With its expressive groups of figures, 26 bubbles and 18 fountains, it symbolizes the unity and interrelationship between humans, animals and water - a theme that has a special significance in the coastal region of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.
Symbol of the Hanseatic city of Rostock
As an inner-city landmark, the fountain of joie de vivre blends harmoniously into the historic cityscape of Rostock. University Square, where it stands, is a lively place in the center of the largest city in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Anyone traveling along the Baltic coast and visiting cities such as Stralsund, Wismar or Greifswald should not miss out on Rostock and this impressive work of art.
How to get to the fountain of joie de vivre in Rostock
You can easily reach the fountain by train via Rostock Central Station, which is only about one kilometer away. By car, you can use the Rostock-Nord or Rostock-Ost freeway junctions, both around four kilometers from Universitätsplatz. The location is also easily accessible via a nearby ferry stop on Schnickmannstraße.
