Summary

Description
Ελληνικά: Φιλίππειος Κρήνη. Δημόσια βρύση στην Νεστάνη. Η πέτρινη βρύση με τα τέσσερα “στόματα” της ένναι κομψό παράδειγμα της παραδοσιακής καλλιτεχνικής πέτρας. Η κρήνη αποτελεί σημαντικό στοιχείο της πολιτηστικής ταυτότητας του χωριού. Η κρήνη έναι στη μνήμη του Φιλππου ΙΙ της Μακεδονίας. Ο Φίλιππ έχτισε τη βάση του κοντά στην πηγή δτην Νεστανε το 338 π.Χ.

English: Fountain of drinking water at Nestani (Νεστάνη Αρκαδιας), Peloponnese. The fountain is a monument of tradition of the historical legend of “Philipps Fountain” (Greek: Φιλίππειος Κρήνη) in memory of the famous ancient King Philip II of Macedon, of whom Pausanias (110-180 AD) writes in his famous “Description of Greece”, that he camped here in 338 BC (see ancient site Nestane).
The cool, crystalline clear spring water flows out from faucets in a styled stone niche. In this way or in an artificially framed wall there are similar fountains in many Greek villages. The fountain and its environment served as social meeting point until decentral water supply into all houses was established. These premises are well kept and even today, maintained as an element of cultural identity of a village.

Deutsch: Gedenkbrunnen zu dem historisch verbürgten Brunnen von Philipp II von Makedonien (Name des Brunnens in Griechisch: Φιλίππειος Κρήνη). Der gepflegte, Wasser spendende, Brunnen, der früher als Trinkwasserbrunnen diente, steht im Dorf Nestani (Νεστάνη Αρκαδιας), Peloponnes, hier direkt neben dem Kirchen- und Friedhofsbereich.
Im klassischen Griechenland waren Quellen heilige Stellen. In vielen griechischen Dörfern sind traditionelle Brunnen wie der in Nestani die Stelle, an der man sich traf oder versammelte, solange es keine dezentrale Wasserversorgung gab (meist bis Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts). Das kühle Quellwasser wird aus immer noch laufenden, früher eigens errichteten steinernen Nischen und aus Spendern in Mauern dargeboten. Die Brunnen dienen vielfach als ein wichtiges Symbol kultureller Identität in griechischen Dörfern.
