The Datterich fountain is located north of the Justus Liebig House on Kleinschmidt-Steg. Special feature: the moving figures!

The fountain sculpture originally stood in front of the entrance to the Luisencenter. The fountain is a bronze sculpture consisting of bronze figures standing on a large moving wheel, the limbs of which can be moved and whose figures are based on the main characters of the "Datterich" (a historic play). During the renovation of the Luisencenter in 1996, it was dismantled, overhauled in Aachen and rebuilt as a dry plastic in its current location. The spiral column that formerly protruded in the middle was replaced by a bronze stage curtain by Stirnberg, and the function of the fountain was given up.
