The fountain from 1897 underlined the picturesque living and referred to the legendary and fairy tale world from which the Art Nouveau, the predominant architectural style of the Zooviertel, drew its forms and ideas.

On November 13, 1897, the architect Rudolf Hermanns presented the fairy tale fountain as a gift to the city of Elberfeld in and on behalf of his partner Kuno Riemann. Mayor Jäger, after whom one of the streets there is named today, took care of the fountain in the presence of numerous guests and city councilors. The architects who were responsible for the expansion of the Tiergartenviertel had cost 23,000 marks for the fountain.

Scenes from Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, Little Red Riding Hood and Cinderella are depicted in the four niches, with a grandmother telling children fairy tales on the top. There used to be other figures between the groups of figures, depicting Reinecke the fox, Puss in Boots, hedgehog and King Nutcracker.
