The Egelsee Fountain is part of an artistic waterscape featuring stainless steel fountains and reflecting pools. Created for the IGA 1993, it offers a striking interplay of water, sound, and art.

The Egelsee is an artificial lake embedded in an "art garden landscape" on the Wartberg in Stuttgart. The water features of the lake were designed by the sculptor Hans Dieter Bohnet, the landscaping design of the site was based on the plans of the landscape architect Hans Luz.

On the western slope of the Wartberg, two streams have their source, which flow down to the valley basin of the Wartberg to the east and unite to form one stream at the Grottenloch art station. This flows into the "Cancer Tail", a cascade of four ponds that flows into the Egelsee. The lake consists of a long, rectangular basin that nestles into the valley and ends on the narrow sides in two circular lakes, the Kugelsee with a spherical fountain in the west and the Fontänensee with a water organ in the east.

Operating time of the fountains: approx. mid-May to mid-October
