    The Schwalm fountain was built in 1958 to show the connection between the city of Alsfeld and the traditional costume area of the Schwalm.

      The part of the Schwalm fountain that is still standing after the restoration has to be demolished again. It's about more than 100,000 euros. Completion is far from in sight. Who pays for this?

        The Schwalm fountain in Alsfeld was built in 1958. The Schwalm costume inspired the Brothers Grimm to write the fairy tale Little Red Riding Hood.
