The salt boiler fountain is in the middle of a roundabout in the Waldzimmer industrial park.
This should remind of the bygone Niedernhall salt works. The name "Niedernhall" comes from the salt in the underground.
The fountain was donated by Fritz Müller and executed by the artist Leo Wirth from Weikersheim and inaugurated in 2011. It was cast in several parts (more than 200 parts) in bronze by the Strassacker foundry in Süßen, has a diameter of 2.60 meters and weighs around 2000 kg.
Two salt boilers are shown, one of which pours brine into basins under which fire burns. This way the water evaporates and the salt remains. The second salt boiler draws the salt off with a "Krüke".
The inscription "Salzsieder in Niedernhall from 1037-1829" is all around and reminds of the tradition in Niedernhall.
