The Ludwigsbrunnen is an inner-city fountain that stands on the market square between the town hall and the Protestant town church and provides drinking water. A statue of Grand Duke Ludwig I of Baden stands on the fountain.
The original fountain was designed in 1822 by Friedrich Weinbrenner and inaugurated in 1824 on the occasion of the opening of the 4.5 km long residence water pipeline, in which drinking water was pumped from Durlach to Karlsruhe. The statue was made by Aloys Raufer and was placed on the fountain in 1833 facing Karlsruhe Castle.
