The Landgrafenbrunnen is a fountain in Bad Homburg.
It is listed as a cultural monument.
In 1899 a new spring was drilled on the grounds of the golf course in Bad Homburg's Kurpark and then used as a bathing spring.
From 1903, the very salty water was also prescribed for internal use in liver and gallbladder disorders.
Now the fountain was redesigned and a pavilion with a bar was built next to it and opened on June 9, 1903.
Today's fountain architecture was created in 1908 by the sculptor Anton Lussmann in Art Nouveau forms.
The small complex facing the fountain avenue was originally crowned by two flower-filled vases and bore a relief of a nymph at a rock spring on the front.
The representation of the naked nymph met with criticism from the population.
It was therefore replaced in 1955 by a relief bust of Landgrave Friedrich II.
This cast metal work is the work of Ortud Krüger-Stohlmann.

A little off the very wide main path is the “Landgrafenbrunnen”.

The Landgrafenbrunnen is Bad Homburg's "saltiest" mineral spring and one of the youngest. Discovered in 1899, it was initially used for spa baths and, from 1903, as medicinal water, which is still consumed today for liver and gallbladder diseases.
