    It was designed in 1905 by Hermann Billing. The original design was, in the spirit of the Art Nouveau style, a source mermaid placed on a pedestal, but he did not yet include the rotunda with the men's faces. The draft was discussed violently in the local council. The portrayal of a naked woman in such a prominent place was felt by some councilors as inappropriate. The design was finally released and Hermann Billing was allowed to realize it, including artistic modifications. He did this together with the sculptor Hermann Binz. Since billing was annoyed by the discussion in the council obviously, he realized the well so that next to him and Binz and the members of the council look at the naked woman. A council member, who would rather have a girl portrayed in a costume, is even gekrault of a mermaid on the beard. (Excerpt from ka.stadtwiki.net)

      On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, a visit to the square around the fountain, the Stephansplatz, is worthwhile as there is a weekly market on these days.

        The fountain is awesome. And also the place is very nice. In the building of the old main post office - today Postgalerie - there is a café with seats in the square.
