The fountain is located in the pond of the Verzetstrijderspark at Marialust in Apeldoorn. In 1930, a citizens' initiative was started in Apeldoorn to place the fountain. With the slogan 'A quarter does not make you poorer, a fountain does make Apeldoorn richer', people were called upon to donate money for a fountain. On 31 August 1932 (Queen's Day), the Kwartjesfontein, placed in the pond of the Oranjepark, was unveiled by Princess Juliana.

Here it is nice to stay during a summer day under the cooling roof of the trees to the sound of the water of the fountain

On August 31, 1932 (Queen's Day), the Kwartjesfontein, placed in the pond of the Oranjepark, was unveiled by Princess Juliana. The fountain was funded by contributions from Apeldoorn society, but the engine was Jo Wegener, publisher of the Nieuwe Apeldoornsche Courant, who called on his readers to make a modest contribution in the form of a quarter, under the motto "A quarter does not make you poorer. A fountain makes Apeldoorn richer ”.
