Leopold Fountain, Heritage fountain at Rennweg, Innsbruck, Austria.

The Leopold Fountain presents a central equestrian statue mounted on an ornate stone base with water features integrated around its foundation. The monument combines sculptural elements, stone architecture, and flowing water into a single composition along Rennweg.

Archduke Leopold V commissioned the equestrian statue and ten allegorical bronze figures from his court sculptor Caspar Gras as a display of absolutist power; the project was left unfinished when Leopold died in 1632. The bronzes were cast from 1622 by Heinrich and Friedrich Reinhardt. The equestrian statue was first set up in 1826 in front of what is now the Landestheater, and the whole ensemble was assembled as a fountain opposite the Hofburg in 1893 to plans by Johann Wunibald Deininger and Heinrich Fuss.

The fountain is named after Archduke Leopold V, who ruled Tyrol from 1623 to 1630. Its ten allegorical bronzes of goddesses and sea deities were cast from 1622 by Heinrich and Friedrich Reinhardt; during Andreas Hofer's time the nude figures caused offence and he wanted them melted down. The rider holds a field marshal's baton.

The fountain stands near the Tyrolean State Theatre in the downtown area and fits easily into a walking tour. Check current accessibility conditions before your visit, especially if using mobility aids or traveling with children.

During the equestrian statue's absence after 2015, anonymous pranksters placed a papier-mâché dinosaur, a bicycle and a traffic sign on its empty pedestal. The statue was finally unveiled again on 10 October 2019. In 2023, one of the four bronze putti supporting the water basins was stolen and later found undamaged on the Innpromenade.
