Junobrunnen
Junobrunnen stands in the Kursaalanlagen of Stuttgart-Bad Cannstatt, near Königsplatz and Nauheimer Straße. A circular basin surrounds the column beneath Juno. Almost nude, the Roman goddess stands above a peacock, while neoclassical stonework frames the scene.
Four dolphins emerge below her, each carrying a child with a sea snail, grain, fruit, or grapes. Their mouths serve as water spouts, linking the figures to fishing, gardening, fruit growing, and viticulture. Emil Kiemlen designed the fountain in 1910, and Stuttgart stone sculptor Willi Schönfeld carried out the work.
Kiemlen, born in Cannstatt, created this contribution after Cannstatt joined Stuttgart in 1905. Juno, Roman goddess of marriage, represents peace between the two united cities. The pedestal bears the inscription “Erected by the Beautification Association Cannstatt 1910 / fec. E. Kiemlen.” A major renovation restored the fountain in 2000.
