Pfeiferbrunnen

It is one of the Old City of Bern's 16th-century fountains and is part of the list of Swiss heritage sites of national significance.

[1] The Pfeiferbrunnen was built in 1545–46 by the Swiss Renaissance sculptor Hans Gieng, based on the 1514 Albrecht Dürer woodcut of the Bagpiper.

During the renovation of 1874, an inscription was placed on the back of the statue, and the figures on the pillar were damaged.

Then, in 1919 the fountain was moved to the east from its original spot between Ryffli- and Storchengässchen, to its current location in front of Spitalgasse 21.
