The Art Deco style mosaic fountain was built for the International Horticultural Exhibition in 1926. The design comes from Hans Poelzig and his wife Marlene Moeschke-Poelzig. The fountain, decorated with mosaic stones, is reminiscent of a plant.

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.
