    The mosaic fountain was built in the Art Deco style for the 1926 International Horticultural Exhibition based on a design by Hans Poelzig and his wife Marlene Moeschke-Poelzig. The shape of the fountain is modeled on a plant to match the surroundings. Three stylized flowers grow out of a round fountain bowl. The entire fountain is covered with around half a million mosaic stones in the colors earth brown, gray, green, blue, orange, yellow and gold. The fountain shows an expressionist design language with oriental influences.

      The mosaic fountain is located in a larger square. Surrounded by shady benches, the square is a great place to linger and take a short break, especially in summer. However, the fountain does not appear to be in use at the moment.

        A very nice resting place at this wonderfully designed fountain made of many small mosaic stones. 👍
