The material of the architecture is Danube limestone, the figurative parts are made of bronze.
The name of the fountain is reminiscent of the two sisters von Villers, one was the wife of City Councilor Dürr, the other was the mother-in-law of Dr. Geibel. The family was the former owner of the property at Trödlinring 9.
