Stephan Voigtländer was born in Greifswald in 1965. In 1982, he completed an apprenticeship as a woodworker, earning his university entrance qualification (Abitur). He then worked as a wood turner, restorer, and model maker. Subsequently, he studied sculpture at the Burg Giebichenstein University of Art and Design in Halle. He received his diploma in 1998 and became a master student there under Professor Bernd Göbel until 2000. From 2000 onward, he worked as a freelance sculptor, and from 2007, he held a teaching position at the Leipzig Academy of Visual Arts. He died in Leipzig in 2011.

This fountain is located directly on the city harbor and features a ship's propeller as a symbol of Mecklenburger Metallguss GmbH (MMG). MMG is the world market leader in ship propeller manufacturing. Ships on all the world's oceans are powered by propellers from Waren (Müritz). The fountain was donated by the Rotary Club, the Lions Club, and private individuals, and was designed by Walther Preik.

The unusual feature is that the water in the fountain basin rotates, symbolically representing how a propeller swirls the water.

The fountain discreetly indicates that the MMG plant (near the train station) produces the largest ship propellers in the world.
