The Pied Piper Fountain was created in 1898 and placed in front of the town hall. It is reminiscent of the legend that a so-called rat catcher freed the city from a plague of rats by luring the rats into the Danube by playing his flute. However, the mayor did not want to pay the agreed price. So the Pied Piper returned a few days later wearing splendid clothes and carrying a golden flute. The children of the city followed their sounds onto a ship that sailed away with the children, never to be seen again.
