Between 1921 and 1925, the Karlsruhe artist Max Laeuger created a water feature in the form of a stepped street above the city center of Baden-Baden on Annaberg. On both sides of the water feature are villas typical of the time, built by local architects in the style of the "Stuttgart School". Max Laeuger, a trained sculptor and ceramicist, had the axially symmetrical facility built from artificial stone and concrete. The result was a facility that was unique at the time, with numerous contemporary Art Deco motifs.
The multi-level, strictly geometric terraced garden, crossed by two streets, is enlivened by various wall fountains and a water staircase. The opulent beginning is a grotto complex in the style of a nymphaeum, and the valley-side end on Bernhardstrasse is designed as a spacious fountain basin. In the center of the complex is a monumental plaque with the poem "The Roman Fountain" by Conrad Ferdinand Meyer. A probably intentional leitmotif, as the entire complex is based on Italian models.
