The royal Bavarian court gardener Jacob Ickelsheimer was entrusted with the planting of groups of trees around the former fountain hall , which is now the location of the fountain hall, which started the creation of the park. The park initially consisted of the area around the Luitpoldbad and was expanded several times during the 19th century.

With corner blocks, arched openings and gabled central projections, it has classicistic elements. The building initially served as an electrical center and today as a heating system for the Luitpoldbad.
