Brunnen vor der Arbeiterkammer
In Linz, Brunnen vor der Arbeiterkammer stands before the Chamber of Labor as a public fountain and historical monument. Water runs through a broad basin beside the building. Designed by Alois Dorn in 1950, the fountain commemorates the Chamber’s rebuilding after the Second World War.
Untersberg marble forms its over-life-sized seated woman from three separate blocks. At about 3.2 metres, she holds a hammer and laurel wreath above a volute-decorated base. Two steps carry water into an approximately eight-by-ten-metre basin. Raised edges display reliefs of workers, while an inscription records the president, architect, secretary, and board members of that time.
Dorn’s public artwork connects labour, achievement, and the people represented by the Upper Austrian Chamber of Labor. Restoration in 1974 preserved the fountain’s marble, symbols, and flowing water.
