Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Infobox artwork The Hedwig Fountain (Шаблон:Lang-de) or Lindenhof Fountain is a fountain in the Lindenhof hill in Zürich, Switzerland, which was built in 1912. The helmeted statue of a woman beside the fountain was made by Gustav Siber. It was built to honor the Zürich women, allegedly led by Hedwig ab Burghalden,[1] who defended the city by duping the army of Duke Albert I of Germany during the siege of Zürich in 1292. They dressed in full battle gear in order to trick the Habsburg army into thinking that the city was well protected [2][3] while their men were busy campaigning at Winterthur.
The source of its water comes from the Limmat river.
