The running fountain from the late Renaissance from 1572 consists of a hexagonal sandstone trough, the side surfaces of which bear the Lenzburg city arms. The upper, knee-high edge is set with an iron ring with corner hinges to clamp the stone together. On the eastern edge of the pool, on a brightly painted, partly gilded stone column, the statue rises up with an armored, larger than life warrior who holds the city flag in his right hand and leans on a shield with his left hand. The pedestal is provided with an outlet pipe that feeds the basin. Mounted iron trellis is used to place water vessels.

Nice hike and visit to Lenzburg Castle. Once at the top, you have a clear view of Lenzburg below as well as the Black Forest over if the weather is right.

The oldest fountain in the city. Nice to look at and a great opportunity to cool off.
