The church square is the central square in Otterberg. There is a huge sandstone on the square in front of the abbey church. Here you can see the two most important events in Otterberg's history. On each side: Entry of the Cistercians in 1145 and entry of the Walloons in 1579. Well done.

Make sure to look at both sides of the "Brunnenstein", because the north view shows the entry of the monks in 1145 and the south view the entry of the Walloons in 1579. Created by the sculptor Richard Menges. Source: otterberg24.de
