The Apollo Fountain in the "small courtyard" of the Rathaus

The "Apollo" fountain, created roughly 1520–30, counts as one of the most significant examples of Nuremberg bronze casting. Today it is in the City Museum at Fembo House. Georg Schmidt shows it here as seen from the west, in the "small courtyard" of the "Essenweinbau," a new city hall structure built between 1885 and 1889 on Fünferplatz, between Rathausgasse and Theresienstrasse. The wing was named for its architect, August von Essenwein (1831-1892).
