Guided Story

Right here is the Triton Fountain, crafted by the sculptor Friedrich Coubillier between 1898 and 1902. It's not just a fountain but the artistic endpoint of the Stadtgraben canal axis. Located at the northern end of Königsallee, it serves as a striking point de vue. The City Beautification Association acquired this piece to enhance the avenue's charm. If you look to your right, you can spot the Schadow Monument, and slightly southeast, the Bismarck Monument. Take a moment to appreciate the intricate details that capture the artistic vision of Coubillier.
