Controversial in his time, celebrated today. Because he acted like a doctor, he was labeled a charlatan and even reported for practicing medicine without a license. The fountain commemorates the life's work and the person of Sebastian Kneipp, who is depicted here in a friendly and approachable manner. The monument was created by the Munich artist Wilhelm Nida-Rümelin. It is striking that Kneipp is shown wearing a cassock and yet barefoot. Both elements aptly summarize his role: priest on the one hand, and founder of a healing method still practiced today on the other.
