Water runs through the German Park Angel Fountain for the 2025 season.

NEW ULM – The waters are again flowing through the German Park fountain. Thursday morning, water was turned on in the fountain as a light rain fell on the park. Each year the fountain is shut off in the fall before cold weather arrives. The water is turned back on in spring. This is the earliest the fountain has been turned on in the last few years. In 2024, the fountain remained off until late July due to needed maintenance and repairs to the fountain basin. In 2023, the fountain turned on in late May due to cold weather persisting into April.
