At the top of the fountain stands the city's patron saint, Peter, who gave the fountain its name.
The four cardinal virtues are grouped over a hexagonal basin, namely Justitia - justice, with sword and scales, Fortitudo - strength, with a broken column, Temperantia - moderation, with wine and water, and Sapientia - wisdom, with mirror and Line.translated by

Unfortunately it is not that easy to look at the fountain in peace. Either it is a market and it is 'built up' by stalls or the tourists crowd around it.

The Petrusbrunnen stands directly on the main market, the center of the city. The top is decorated by the patron saint Peter, hence the name used to be the market fountain.
