In 1723 and 1728, earthquakes destroyed parts of Rastatt - including parts of the castle. In 1739, a monument in the form of a fountain was erected on the market square for Saint Alexius of Edessa, the patron saint of earthquakes, lightning and storms. The Rastattans hoped for his intercession to protect them from further earthquakes.

The people of Rastatt hoped that his intercessions would provide them with protection from further earthquakes.

Peter Ernst Rohrer planned and built the fountain as a monument on behalf of Margrave Ludwig Georg.
