The fountain "Der Reiter vom Bodensee" was created in 1999 by Peter Lenk. Background is the ballad of the same name by Gustav Schwab. As a rider, Lenk has represented the writer Martin Walser, who has been living in Überlingen since 1968, who celebrated his 90th birthday in 2017. Walser himself does not like this kind of honoring.
