EN: Iron water pumps are one of the symbols of "old Zagreb". They have been erected since the end of 19-th century, primarily in neighborhoods that were not connected to the municipal water supply (Trnje, Tresnjevka Bukovac), and in places where people always need to have an access to running water (cemeteries, markets ...). 
In Zagreb, the pumps with characteristic shape got nicknamed "Iron Francek" („železni Francek“), or "Iron Martin" („železni Martin“), and there are several versions about the origin of the name. Francek and Martin are frequent Zagreb names and nicknames were probably given with that in mind, but there is also a version that the name originated in the era when Emperor Franz Joseph came to Zagreb in 1895. to officially open the Croatian National Theatre.
I remember when I was a child, we used to spend whole afternoons playing football or basketball, and after the game we used to walk to the nearest pump (it's was never far away), and refresh ourselves with cold water. You should really push the pump handle hard for water to flow, so someone else had to hold the handle while you drink. There was a trick, that not all children knew about (and it didn’t work on all pumps), how to make the water go by itself for 10-20 seconds – you stuck a finger in a hole, blocking the water from exiting, while pressing the handle with the other hand. In a while, the water began to emerge from the area around the handle. Then, you released the handle and pulled out the finger, and voilà, the water run from the pump (without the handle being pressed) for long enough to satisfy your thirst.
Excellent article on the history of Zagreb pumps can be found here (croatian only, I’m afraid).
Several artists united in the group "PimpMyPump" decided to brighten up completely neglected Zagreb pumps, by spraying them with paint. Pump at the crossing of Trakošćanska and Kranjčevićeva street was perhaps the first to be “pimped”, the others followed shortly. The whole history of painting events can be found here (again, croatian only), and in the meantime, the group opened a profile on Facebook, so if you like the initiative, their pumps (or just pimps), click “Like!”.
Judging from the photos, it looks like PmP Crew had a great time pimping this pump, which they decided to pimp in the “Tennis” style. If you’re reading this in english, you probably wouldn’t know this, but this pump reminds me (if you look at the mouth very closely…) of a certain famous politician who liked to play tennis. Oh, well, maybe only my imagination…
This is the first pump from the series that actually has running water, and this will turn out to be a very good thing!

HR: Željezne pumpe za vodu su jedan od simbola „starog Zagreba“. Postavljane su već od kraja 19-og stoljeća, prvenstveno u kvartovima koji nisu bili spojeni na gradski vodovod (Trnje, Trešnjevka, Bukovac), te na mjestima gdje je stalno trebalo imati pristup tekućoj vodi (groblja, tržnice...). U Zagrebu su te pumpe karakterističnog oblika dobile ime „železni Francek“ ili „železni Martin“, a postoji više verzija o porijeklu imena. Francek i Martin su česta zagrebačka imena, pa su nadimci vjerojatno dani od milja, ali postoji i verzija da je ime nastalo u doba kad je car Franjo Josip 1895. godine došao u Zagreb svečano otvoriti Hrvatsko Narodno Kazalište.
Sjećam se kad sam kao dijete po cijelo popodne igrao nogomet ili košarku, a onda nakon igre pješačenje do najbliže pumpe (uvijek je neka bila u blizini), i osvježenje hladnom vodom. Drška pumpe se morala jako pritisnuti da poteče voda, tako da je netko drugi morao držati ručku dok bi ti pio. Postojao je i trik, kojeg nisu sva djeca znala (a nije ni radio na svim pumpama) kako se može srediti da voda sama ide jedno 10-20 sekundi – prstom se začepio otvor na pumpi, dok bi se drugom rukom držala pritisnuta ručka pumpe, sve dok voda ne bi počela izlaziti iz prostora oko ručke. Tada, kad bi se izvadio prst, voda je išla sama dovoljno dugo da se možeš lijepo napiti.
Odličan članak o povijesti zagrebačkih pumpi možete naći ovdje .

Nekoliko umjetnika udruženih u grupu “PimpMyPump” je odlučilo uljepšati potpuno zapuštene zagrebačke pumpe farbajući ih sprejem. Pumpa na križanju Trakošćanske i Kranjčevićeve je izgleda bila prva na “udaru”, nakon čega su slijedile i druge. Cijelu povijest događanja možete naći ovdje, a u međuvremenu je grupa otvorila i svoj profil na Facebooku , pa ako vam se sviđa inicijativa, njihove pumpe (ili samo pimpovi), lajkajte ih!
Sudeći po fotografijama, izgleda da se PmP Crew ludo zabavljao pimpajući ovu pumpu, koju su odlučili urediti u “Tenis” stilu.
Ne znam da li ćete se složiti samnom, ali mene ovaj tenisač (gledajući izbliza, pogotovo usta) neodoljivo podsjeća na jednog našeg političara koji je volio igrati tenis. Ah, možda je to samo moja mašta…
Ovo je prva pumpa u seriji koja radi, tj. ima pitku vodu, što će se pokazati kao vrlo dobra stvar...
