    In the old market the various bronze figures represent the myths and legends of the Jeverland. Whether "Horand the singer", "Maria von Jever", "Count Anton Günther von Oldenburg", "The Scheeper Hase" or "The witch ship drives over the Jade "- all characters have their own unusual story.

      The legendary well at the "Old Market" in Jever was donated in 1995 by the Frisian Brauhaus to Jever. The design is by the artist Bonifatius Stirnberg from Aachen. The fountain shows figures from five regionally known legends. You can see the Miss Mary of Jever, which according to the legend did not die, but disappeared through an underground passage at the castle Jever and should return at some point. Another group of figures shows the Count Anton-Günter von Oldenburg with his dappled gray "crane". The count's favorite horse is said to have saved his life when, on a ride on the island to the island of Wangerooge, a dense fog came up and the count lost his bearings. Despite dangerously rising tide the horse brought the count safely back to the mainland. The big, white Scheeper hare reportedly pushed not quite sober farmers into the ditch. The witch ship shows two witches from the neighboring Butjadinger country, which drove according to legend with milk sieve as boat and Kuhrippen as oars her mischief with the fishermen of the Jeverlandes. The Gudrunsage from the 9th century reported by the Danish singer Horand, who rode on the sand "Givers". This is supposedly the first mention of Jever.
