    The fountain is very old, its history goes back to the late Middle Ages. It was built around 1400, and in the 19th century it was known as the "Traubenbrunnen" because it was located near the "Traube" inn.

    In 1880 it was completely renovated, received a fountain column with a dog figure and was then named after the Brettener Hundle.

    In March 2007 the dog was replaced by a weatherproof replica made of "Udelfanger sandstone". The sandstone column, the column base with the year and the fountain surround were also renewed.
