The fountain in front of the primary school shows a mother bear with her two cubs. Ursensollen was first mentioned in a document in 1144. The name researcher Hans Frank interprets the place name as a combination of the male name "Ursus" and "Soligen", which means something like wallow, pond or hüll. In other words: the man who lived by the pond.
Ursus means bear in Latin. The stately mother bear, with all her life experience, shows her two cubs how to successfully catch fish.
