The German Fountain, located in Istanbul’s Hippodrome, was a gift from German Emperor Wilhelm II to the Ottoman Empire in 1901, symbolizing the friendship between the two nations. This neo-Byzantine style monument, with its octagonal design, features a domed ceiling adorned with golden mosaics and elegant green columns. The fountain, crafted in Germany and assembled in Istanbul, stands as a historical marker of diplomatic relations and remains a popular attraction in Sultanahmet Square.
