Sintersteinbrunnen · Stadtwiki Baden-Baden

The Baden-Baden Sintersteinbrunnen marks the start of the Lichtentaler Allee and is a popular photo subject. The fountain’s name varies across other sources. It is often simply called the Springbrunnen (fountain) or the Steinbrunnen in der Allee (stone fountain in the avenue). It consists of a pyramid of boulders made of calcareous sinter, which forms through deposition at thermal springs. The stones of the fountain were quarried during the construction of the Friedrichsbad on the Florentinerberg. Initially the fountain was supplied with water from the upper Solmssee. Later the water came directly from the Oos via a pump. As a result, the fountain could not be operated during low water levels in summer. A basin was therefore eventually installed beneath the fountain, so that now only small amounts have to be drawn from the Oos. During this work, all the stones were numbered, removed and then reinstalled in their original positions.^[1] A renovation took place in 1991.^[2]
