Stephaniebrunnen, Decorative water well at Stephanplatz, Karlsruhe, Germany
The Stephaniebrunnen features a bronze water nymph statue standing 2.80 meters high on a basin with a diameter of ten meters surrounded by columns.
Architect Hermann Billing designed this fountain in 1905, incorporating water spouts shaped like faces and a colonnade structure without holding a design competition.
The fountain displays fourteen relief portraits of notable Karlsruhe personalities, including mayors, artists, and the architect himself, measuring 70 centimeters each.
The fountain stands behind the Post Galerie shopping center, making it accessible to visitors exploring the central district of Karlsruhe.
Initial designs of the fountain sparked controversy due to the nude nymph figure, leading to modifications and satirical responses from the local community.
