    The Luther Fountain was designed by Barbara and Gernot Rumpf. This is in front of the Luther Church, on the floor plan of the former church. On June 25, 2017, the square was officially given the name "Lutherplatz".

      Of the 48 fountains in Ludwigshafen, the Luther Fountain is one of the most beautiful. The bronze busts of Martin Luther and his wife Katharina von Bora are enthroned on the extensive sandstone complex. The fountain in the heart of the city is the only monument shared by the couple in Germany. There, Luther and his wife are surrounded by other figures that allude to the life of the reformer and the events of the schism. Pope's chair and stool, for example, stand for Luther's argument with Pope Leo X.

      However, the children, who can conquer the Luther fountain via a sandstone staircase, are hardly interested in the historical events. They are especially happy about the many animal figures. One of them is a little mouse. It serves as the identification mark of the sculptor couple Gernot and Barbara Rumpf from Neustadt an der Weinstraße, who created the work of art.
