Parts of the Luther film were also shot on the market square in Ummerstadt. The sloping marketplace and the well-preserved half-timbered houses provided the necessary environment for this. Numerous scenery constructions/changes to buildings and the fountain were made for this purpose, so that everything looks medieval. I have attached a picture of it. The fountain is completely boarded up and serves as a pedestal for the indulgence dealer. He speaks to the fictional community of Jüterborg.
If you know that, a real highlight.
Here is an interesting link about it:

The five fountains that still exist in the city today earned Ummerstadt the nickname "Five Fountain City". A short walk to the 16th-century arched bridge that crosses the Rodach River is also worthwhile. You can reach the WOM cycle path over this bridge.
The market fountain from 1687 is located on the market square.

All around very beautiful half-timbered houses and some sights. Parts of the Luther film were filmed there, the reason for this was the sloping market square and the well-preserved surroundings with the numerous half-timbered houses.
