Until a general water pipe was built in 1880, the people of Thurnau drew their water from one of the public fountains using handmade paper and jugs. The market fountain in Thurnau was made of local sandstone and placed on the market square in the mid-1730s. The Greek sea god Neptune was the model. The god of the sea leans on a tower that gives a clue to the name of the market, namely the "Tower in the Au".
