The round shape of the enclosure reminds of it. This has the nickname Ochsenauge (Wikipedia).

The Leutra springs (also Läutra spring or Läuter spring) are three karst and fault springs of the Leutra in the park on the Ilm in Weimar.
The source is to the right of the Ilm, south of the Sternbrücke.
Two of the springs were artistically designed as a sphinx grotto and a so-called ox eye at the end of the 18th century.
The Sphinx Grotto was built in 1784 at the behest of Duke Carl August by Martin Gottlieb Klauer, who created it based on designs by Georg Melchior Kraus.
The ensemble is one of the oldest facilities in the park and is now part of the “Classic Weimar” world cultural heritage.

It was built in 1786 to a design by the court painter Georg Melchior Kraus by court sculptor Martin Gottlieb Klauer. The Sphinx resting on a large cuboid was created after Egyptian model and consisted of Berkaer sandstone, while the grotto was built of travertine (Wikipedia).
