Guided Story

Imagine standing before a piece of history that has witnessed countless tales. The lion's head you see, pouring water so gracefully, has weathered the passage of time. Look closely at its cast-iron features; they seem almost alive. Just behind you, a few steps away, stands the statue of Christoph Martin Wieland, a key figure of the Enlightenment. While Wieland became famous for his words, this fountain whispers the stories of a city rich in art and culture. To your right, you'll find Goethe's former home, a place that captures the very essence of Weimar. Here at this fountain, the past and present come together in a remarkably harmonious way.
