Athenebrunnen, Neoclassical fountain in Stuttgart-West, Germany.
The Athenebrunnen features a central statue of Athena emerging from Zeus's head, accompanied by figures of Prometheus and Pandora on opposing sides.
The fountain, commissioned by Julie Siegle after her industrialist husband's death, was constructed in 1911 on the northern slope of Karlshöhe.
The selection of Athena for the fountain represents wisdom and arts, reflecting the Siegle family's commitment to Stuttgart's educational and social development.
The Verschönerungsverein Stuttgart manages the fountain's maintenance, ensuring public access and preservation of this historical monument near Jean-Amery-Weg.
The fountain incorporates three mythological narratives: Athena's birth, Prometheus bringing fire to humanity, and Pandora releasing misfortunes into the world.
