The Elisenbrunnen fountain in Aachen was named in honor of a princess. Elisabeth Ludovika, known as Elise, the daughter of the Bavarian King Maximilian I. On November 29, 1823, she married the future Prussian King Frederick William IV. On the occasion of this wedding, the Aachen city council decided to name the fountain, completed a few years later, after the bride. A bust in the fountain's rotunda still commemorates the beautiful princess today.
