Fountain with water mirrors on 2 levels, which change from the element of water to the element of fire in winter. In 2000, the sphere made of bronze and red granite was added. On it are 2 allegorical figures representing the optimist and the pessimist, grouped around the free interpretation of the Malmö heraldic hilt and two inscriptions by the Greek poet Herakleitos and Hjalmar Gullberg.
