Leutraquelle in Weimar, Natural spring in Park an der Ilm, Germany
The Leutraquelle consists of three distinct karst springs emerging from geological faults along the edge of the Ilm Valley basin.
The spring complex was enhanced in the late 18th century with architectural elements, including the Sphinx Grotto designed by Martin Gottlieb Klauer in 1784.
The spring system forms part of the Classical Weimar UNESCO World Heritage site, representing the integration of natural elements with architectural design.
The spring water maintains a constant temperature of 8.5 degrees Celsius and flows directly into the Ilm River near the Star Bridge.
The spring features an ox-eye shaped fountain and a grotto adorned with a sphinx statue made from Berka sandstone and travertine materials.
