Große Fontäne (Great Fountain)

The Große Fontäne (Great Fountain) is at the center of the southern garden where the two main allees and smaller paths cross.

The present electrically driven pump of the Great Fountain was installed in 1956. It forces water through a 4 mm circular slit making the jet hollow to reach up to 81 m (usually only 72 m) while using only 500,000 liter of water per hour.
