Nestled in the center of the town's historic Stadtplatz (town square), this landmark offers visitors a chance to connect with the area's rich past and vibrant present. The fountain's origins trace back centuries. The current structure was erected in 1954, replacing an earlier version removed in 1894 after a modern water supply system was constructed.
