This beautiful fountain stood at eight marble columns with the octagonal dome was the gift from the German Emperor Kaiser Wilhelm II (1859 - 1941) to Sultan Abdulhamid II (1842 - 1918) who was the 34th sultan of the Ottoman Empire, and the City Istanbul.
The German Fountain
(or as we call Alman Çeşmesi in turkish)
(or as we call Alman Çeşmesi in turkish)

for his Istanbul visit to Ottoman Sultan.
I can not think of any best present eternally dedicated in the world of humanity: a fountain.for his Istanbul visit to Ottoman Sultan.
