Stockentenbrunnen, Cultural heritage fountain in Weimar, Germany.

The Stockentenbrunnen stands on the schoolyard of the Käthe-Kollwitz-Schule at Röhrstraße 19 in Weimar, in front of the southern facade of the former Luisenschule, now the Friedrich Justin Bertuch vocational school. The travertine fountain has an octagonal pedestal crowned by a mallard in her nest, looking down at two ducklings that look up at her. Below the nest an octagonal band-steel ring carries four water spouts and hooks once used for hanging drinking cups.

The fountain was made after 1910 by the Weimar sculptor Arno Zauche, a pupil of Adolf von Donndorf. At some point the duck sculpture stood in Kromsdorf Castle Park. In 2001 the stone restorer Diana Berger restored and partly reconstructed the fountain. It is listed as an individual monument in Weimar's register of cultural monuments.

The sculpture shows a mother mallard in her nest looking down at two ducklings that look up at her, a motif read as maternal care. Arno Zauche, a pupil of Adolf von Donndorf, also made Weimar's Froschbrunnen, another fountain with an animal subject.

The fountain stands in the courtyard of the Staatliche Berufsbildende Schule "Friedrich Justin Bertuch" at Röhrstraße 19, in front of the southern school facade. It is on school grounds rather than in a public square, so it is best viewed from the street or during school hours when the yard is open.

The sculptor Arno Zauche, a pupil of Adolf von Donndorf, made another animal fountain for Weimar: the Froschbrunnen. The duck sculpture was for a time kept in Kromsdorf Castle Park before returning to the schoolyard, and restorer Diana Berger partly reconstructed the travertine in 2001.
