Narrenschiffbrunnen in Nürnberg – korrekt auch „Narrenschiff“ genannt – ist eine eindrucksvolle Bronzeskulptur von Jürgen Weber (1928–2007), die zwischen 1984 und 1987 entstanden

Фонтанната скулптура е създадена между 1984 и 1987 г. Два екземпляра са отлети от леярната за изкуство Lenz. Първият отлив се намира в Хамелин . Вторият екземпляр е показан през 1987 г. на художествена изложба в Нюрнберг. Меценатът Курт Клутентретер (1910–2000) прави възможно закупуването ѝ. През 1988 г. скулптурата е поставена на сухо място на (безименния) площад между Museumsbrücke, Spitalgasse През 1990 г. са положени усилия скулптурата да бъде завършена като фонтан в духа на художника („корабът е трябвало да прелива като купа на фонтан, а водата да бълбука от фигурите, враната и чашата за вино“ ). Клутентретер отново обещава да покрие очакваните разходи от 300 000 германски марки за по-висок конус, павиран басейн и водоснабдяване. Културният комитет на Общинския съвет, по съвет на Консултативния съвет за изобразително изкуство, отхвърля дарението и завършването на фонтана. Скулптурата на фонтана все още стои суха на тротоарна неравност в пешеходната зона.
