Why go
Built in the late fourteenth century, this fountain turns an idea of the Holy Roman Empire into a public artwork. Walk around the railing to compare the forty figures, from rulers and prophets to the liberal arts. A brass ring in the fence carries a local good luck tradition, though the sculpture itself is the stronger reason to pause.
What to look for
- The Gothic spire rises above the stalls and crossings of Hauptmarkt.
- Forty sculpted figures circle the fountain in several tiers.
- A brass ring sits in the railing around the fountain.
Useful to know
- View it from several sides to see different groups of figures.
- Pair the stop with Frauenkirche on the eastern side of the square.
