Behind the New Palace is a cast iron fountain in the Empire style. On a round stone base with four water-spouting lions, there is a square pillar shaft, crowned with an eagle. It bears the Württemberg coat of arms on the front and back and King Friedrich's name on the side. Around the pillar shaft are oak garlands and the golden eagle order, underneath are dolphins with trident. An identical version is in the courtyard of the Ludwigsburg castle.
