The Donnerbrunnen is a Baroque fountain situated on the centre of the Neuer Markt square. It was built in 1739 upon order of the city of Vienna.
It was created by the famous sculptor Georg Raphael Donner who created the models for the casts, and Johann Nikolaus Moll who created the figures.

The fountain depicts Providentia, the symbol of good government. The four figures that surround Providentia represent the four main rivers of the Austrian heartlands: the two male ones those of Upper Austria, the two female ones those of Lower Austria: the Enns, Traun, Ybbs and March.
