The fountain is in Universitatsplatz at the end of Kropeliner Strasse, near the University and Tourist Information Centre. The English name is the Fountain of Joy of Life and it was installed in 1980. There are various sculptures within the circular fountain. Some sculptures are people and others are animals. Apparently because the people are naked, the locals call it the porn fountain. It’s certainly different!

Unique seating on naked statues at the fountain of zest for life located in University Square, in front of the University of Rostock. These are very appropriately called “The porn fountains.” The statues and unique main seating are on two long nide sculptures of a woman and a man.

We stopped for coffee and the grand cafe and sat and admired the sculptures around the lovely fountain.

With Neuer Markt on one end and Universitat Rostock on the other it is very scenic. There are also many imrpressive churches within walking distance.

This water fountain is located in front of the old University building on Kröpeliner Strasse.
It is a very popular spot with its central location.

Call it the "family fountain" or the "porn fountain," and chances are, the locals will know what you're talking about. But call it by it's proper name -- the "Joy of Life" fountain -- and you'll get some blank stares. At least, that's what our guide told us. It's an interesting mix of naked men, women, children and animals; but put in perspective: Rostock's ballyhooed zoo and nude beach aren't too far away. Which explains everything. Right? (Clear as mud to me; but then, what do I know? I'm an American.)

An interesting fountain with a story.
Located in front of the University in a large plaza.
A nice place to hang around

I guess it depends how you feel about the sculptures but this fountain is either very erotic or very kitsch or somewhere in between. Personally I found it rather rambunctious.

Well worth a visit especially if you come off the cruise ship you just get the train about 20 minutes and you can walk or tram into town, lovely shops, bars and restaurants, we ate opposite the water fountain in the Italian restaurant and watched the world go by!!
