The fountain, built in 1889, is intended to commemorate the founding of the city in 1228 and thus also of the founder, Prince Heinrich Borwin 2nd.
The occasion was the completion of the Güstrow water network.
The crowning figure comes from Richard Thiele, a Barlach teacher.

In front of the post office stands the Borwin fountain with the statue of Heinrich Borwin II (1170-1226), Prince of Mecklenburg, Lord of Rostock and founder of the city of Güstrow. The crowning figure in the middle of the fountain was created in 1889 by the sculptor Richard Thiele from Hamburg, one of Ernst Barlach's teachers. The hexagonal sandstone fountain was designed by Georg Daniel from Schwerin.
