Schloßplatzspringbrunnen

Schloßplatzspringbrunnen, Double fountain system in Schloßplatz, Stuttgart, Germany.

The Schloßplatzspringbrunnen consists of two fountains, each with a round basin, a chalice rising above a bowl, and water that shoots up and then flows into the basin. The bowl's rim is decorated with plant motifs, an egg-and-dart pattern, and lion heads whose mouths release water. Four figures symbolizing Württemberg rivers surround each supporting column.

These fountains were built in 1863 under architect Christian Friedrich von Leins and sculptor Karl Kopp to honor Wilhelm I of Württemberg. They have anchored the center of the square ever since and endured many changes to the surrounding public space.

Eight figures around the fountains represent major rivers of Württemberg: the Neckar, Kocher, Fils, Enz, Danube, Nagold, Tauber, and Jagst. These sculptures show how water shaped the region's character and importance over time.

The two fountains stand on Stuttgart's Schlossplatz, in the Mitte district. The square is a short walk from Stuttgart Hauptbahnhof and is served by nearby Stadtbahn stops. The basins sit at ground level and can be approached from the surrounding paved areas.

The four river figures on the northern fountain vanished in 1945 and their whereabouts remain unknown. Using photographs, Doris Schmauder modelled replacements for Donau, Nagold, Tauber and Jagst, cast in aluminium in Süßen and finished in 1989. The southern fountain still keeps its originals, cast by Wilhelm Pelargus from designs by Karl Kopp and Christian Friedrich von Leins.
