    Elisabeth Wellano, known as Liesl Karlstadt, was an actress and cabaret artist and was particularly well known among Munich residents for her comedy duo with Karl Valentin. After Karl Valentin's death, she also appeared on stage in serious roles at the Kammerspiele and at the Residenztheater.

      Since 2017, a security service has been monitoring the activity at the Liesl Karlstadt Fountain in the Viktualienmarkt. This security measure has improved relations between the surrounding market stall operators and the participants of the traditional regulars' table at the fountain. Tourists can once again enjoy seeing the regulars, some of whom are dressed in traditional Bavarian clothing. After its inauguration in 1961, the fountain, dedicated to the popular actress and Karl Valentin's stage partner, became a popular meeting place for long-time Munich residents, who would gather there for a beer-drinking get-together when the weather was nice. However, there were also occasional incidents involving drunken, noisy individuals who harassed market visitors.

        Born Elisabeth Wellano, the daughter of a baker of Italian descent in Munich on Zieblandstrasse, she was discovered by Karl Valentin in 1910 with the remark: "As a soubrette, you are very skinny, soubrettes must be mollert!" For 25 years since 1915, Liesl Karlstadt and Karl Valentin formed the 'shining twin stars in the sky of great humorous art' and immediately impressed people with her first role as a 'Firmling'. In her memoirs she writes: "Valentin had no interest in 'Italian' because his Italian salad was so badly worn."

        On the first anniversary of her death, Thursday, July 27, 1961, at the stroke of 7 p.m., Liesl Karlstadt was the only one who received her fountain without competition.
