The Leutraquelle, also known as Läutraquelle, is an artistically crafted karst spring located in the Park an der Ilm in Weimar. Two of the springs were transformed into the Sphinx Grotto and Ox Eye at the end of the 18th century. These were created under the direction of Duke Carl August by Martin Gottlieb Klauer, following designs by Georg Melchior Kraus. As part of the 'Classical Weimar' UNESCO World Heritage, this ensemble is among the park's oldest features.
