At the top of the Eugenstaffel, on Eugensplatz, is the beautiful Galatea, which looks out over the city in the valley basin. The figure was donated by Queen Olga in 1890. The Galatea is a figure of the Greek mythical world.

Some prudish people from Stuttgart had problems with the almost naked figure and complained to the king. Queen Olga then threatened to have the figure turned over so that she could look down on the city with her bottom. Then the complaints suddenly stopped; O)

One of the most beautiful fountains in Stuttgart, beautifully situated on Eugensplatz and with a very funny history (@Maik: thanks for the description).

And here, too: Enjoy it EVEN better with an ice cream in your hand (from the Penguin across the street). 😇😂
