The Röhrenbrunnen is a fountain in Aachen. It is located on a triangular square between Komphausbadstraße and Kurhausstraße north of the Old Kurhaus. The fountain was created in 1971 by sculptor Heinz Tobolla.

The fountain basin is bordered by a low concrete parapet in the form of three overlapping circles of different diameters. In the basin, 40 stainless steel tubes of the same thickness but different heights are arranged in a serpentine line. Water sprays into the basin from the top of the tubes.
