    One of the youngest fountains in Ulm is the Griesbad-Brunnen in the exemplary renovated old town quarter 'Auf dem Kreuz'. Handed over to its intended use in 1994, the fountain shows an Ulm original from the 19th century on 4 poles and a double-bottomed plateau: Michael Hetzer, the 'Griesbadmichel', the servant in the Griesbad, one of the Ulm baths. His utensils included the umbrella, the lantern and the bucket. Equipped in this way, he wandered through the pool garden in rainy weather to find earthworms for the anglers. In this Griedbadmichel the people of Ulm like to recognize each other, so it is said, it stands for simplicity and a neat (= farmer-smart) straight line.
