"Der Kindlifresser Brunnen" (The Child Eater Fountain) is a notable historic fountain located in the Old City of Bern, Switzerland. While the fountain itself dates back to the 16th century, the etching "Der Kindlifresser Brunnen In Bern" by Johan Adam Klein is a separate work of art that depicts this infamous Bernese landmark. Johan Adam Klein (1792–1875) was a German artist known for his etchings and engravings, which often captured landscapes, cityscapes, and architectural features with meticulous detail.

The etching by Klein portrays the Kindlifresser, or Child Eater, fountain with its grotesque statue of an ogre or a giant, which is shown devouring a child. This figure is also surrounded by a sack of babies, suggesting a grim narrative. The fountain, one of the many 16th-century fountains in Bern, is a subject of intrigue and various interpretations regarding its meaning. Some theories suggest that it is a representation of a folkloric figure meant to frighten disobedient children, while others propose that it may have a connection to historical events or cultural symbolism.

Klein's work captures the fountain with precision and attention to the historical context of the site. His etching not only provides an artistic representation of the fountain but also serves as a historical record of its appearance during the time of his work in the 19th century. The etching is significant for its contribution to the documentation of Bern's cultural heritage and for its artistic merit as part of Klein's broader body of work.

The "Der Kindlifresser Brunnen In Bern" etching by Johan Adam Klein is an important visual document that offers insight into the historical art of etching and the cultural landscape of Bern. It stands as a testament to Klein's skill as an engraver and his interest in capturing the essence of European cityscapes and architectural marvels.
