The fountain is in triangular shape with twenty-one references to the history of the Schildbürger. On the bell is the year 1598 as an allusion to the year of publication of the Schildbürgerbuches. More detailed description can be found in the Schildbürgermuseum.

With the large equilateral triangle, the fountain basin symbolizes the so-called Meißnian triangle (Latin: triangle), which is formed by the rivers Elbe, Saale and Eger and represents the former margraviate of Meißen.
The town of Schildau is located in this area. Officially referred to as Schilda in the 19th century, it is still called “Schilde” in dialect to this day. The original Schildbürgerbuch from 1598 often describes the setting of the stories as “Schilde in Misnopotamia”, translated into German as “Shields in the Meißner Flussland”.
At the bow of the ship, a cow sticks out her head as a somewhat unusual figurehead. The attempt to have a cow graze an old wall overgrown with grass by pulling it up onto the wall with a rope around its neck unfortunately failed.
The shield citizen on the bow is on the lookout for the emperor who wanted to pay the Schildschen a visit. At his command that the bourgeoisie should receive him half ridden and half gone, they swung themselves on their hobby horses and greeted him in such a wise way.
The sausage, which is “three times in your mouth”, shows how the people from the shields made such a long sausage that they didn't really know how to put it in the saucepan.
