Oskar-Winter-Brunnen
The Renaissance façade of the Leibnizhaus is a reconstruction; the house was once the home of mathematician and philosopher Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz (1646-1716). In front of the Leibnizhaus is the Oskar-Winter-Brunnen. If you make a wish and turn the small brass ring embedded in the ironwork three times, local lore has it that the wish will come true.

Grosser Garten
With its fountains, neat flowerbeds, trimmed hedges and shaped lawns, the 300-year-old Grosser Garten is an experience. There's a maze near the northern entrance, while the Grosse Fontäne (Big Fountain; the tallest in Europe) at the southern end jets water up to 80m high.
