There was once a fountain at Maxplatz, and the pillar that goes with it is now at Theresienstein near the tennis court. The fountain at Maxplatz was mentioned in 1639 as a newly dug draw well. In 1719 it was equipped with a pump and around 1750 it was converted into a running fountain. He got his water from the Leimitz tap. In 1890 the well was dismantled after the city switched to a central water supply.

Theresienstein Park is located in the north-east of the inner city of Hof an der Saale in Bavaria. Its history dates back to 1816, making the Theresienstein one of the oldest public parks in Germany. The park is named after Queen Therese Charlotte, the wife of the Bavarian King Ludwig I. From 1861 to 1899, the Hof city councilor Johann Gottlob Thomas had a significant influence on the design.
The park was included in the Bavarian state garden show in Hof in 1994. In 2003 the Theresienstein was awarded the title of Germany's most beautiful park.
