The Alster fountain is a large fountain on the Inner Alster in Hamburg.
Carlheinz Hollmann had the idea for the fountain, which is on average 60 meters high, when he saw the fountain on Lake Geneva (the Jet d'eau) from an airplane in 1986. This is located in downtown Geneva in an urban setting very similar to Hamburg's Inner Alster and is also considered a landmark of the city. The Jet d'eau has existed since 1885 and, at 140 meters, is more than twice as high as the Alster fountain.
