Vennerbrunnen

It is a Swiss Cultural Property of National Significance[1] and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Old City of Bern.

The fountain is located in front of the old city hall or Rathaus.

In Bern the Venner was a very powerful position and was key in city's operations.

Venner was one of only two positions from which the Schultheiß or Lord Mayor was chosen.
