    The city of fairy tales.
    With a puppet theater, an amusement park, climbing forest and a beautiful old town.

      Erected for the 200th birthday of the Brothers Grimm in the middle of the market square. At the top of the fountain column is the Sleeping Beauty Castle.

        Beautiful fountain with dragons, frog prince & Co. on a really fairytale place between the castle and the old town hall.

              The fountain, created by the Würzburg sculptor W. Finger-Rokitnitz, depicts well-known and lesser-known fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm arranged on three drums. A column protrudes from the center of the circular fountain, around which fairy tale motifs are arranged in relief, connected by plant forms. The materials chosen for the fountain, limestone and sandstone, give the fountain its fairytale appearance. At the fountain's edge, further fairytale figures can be admired: a water-spouting dragon, a crab, and a princess. The Frog Prince sits in the fountain basin. The two figures, the princess and the Frog Prince, are made of bronze and represent the fountain's signature figures. The four-meter-high fountain column is topped by a capital-like castle rock adorned with Sleeping Beauty's castle and "The Griffin," which rises into the air.
