The Neptune Fountain is part of the surrounding wall of the former court waterworks. An information panel quotes from the city archives volume (see literature) and reports that the fountain has been providing drinking water since 2004.

As part of an extensive garden planned by Friedrich Weinbrenner on behalf of Hereditary Prince Karl Ludwig, the Neptune Fountain was created in 1801 and was the centerpiece of an underground grotto that connected the Hereditary Prince's gardens beneath Erbprinzenstraße. The grotto had to be removed during the construction of the Natural History Museum on Friedrichsplatz. The gargoyle was relocated to the court waterworks in 1866.

It was renovated in 2004 on behalf of the municipal utilities. Stadtwerke Karlsruhe GmbH owns and operates this fountain itself.

Drinking water from a fountain with a fascinating history. You have to search for the fountain. It's somewhat hidden.

You can orient yourself by the water tower.
