Galateabrunnen, Bronze and sandstone fountain at Eugensplatz, Stuttgart, Germany.
The Galateabrunnen fountain features a central figure of the sea nymph Galateia standing on an ornate sandstone stele surrounded by bronze waves.
The fountain's construction in 1890 resulted from Queen Olga Nikolajewna Romanowa's initiative to enhance Stuttgart's urban landscape with artistic elements.
The fountain incorporates elements from Greek mythology, with its main figure representing Galateia, while bronze details depict marine motifs and ornamental patterns.
The fountain operates from mid-May through mid-September, with water flowing through the bearded mask drinking fountain and lion head spouts.
During post-war renovations in 1954, two sphinx figures were removed from the original fountain structure after sustaining damage in World War II.
