This was created by the Leipzig stonemason Gregor Richter in 1588/89 based on the model of the fountain in Leipzig, which no longer exists.
Made of Pirna sandstone, the fountain consists of a round water box with four spouting lion heads on pedestals and Tuscan columns that support an entablature.
A striding lion holds a shield with the Oschatz city coat of arms in its paw.
The work of art had to be protected from environmental influences and restored several times (1732 / 1937 / 1980/81 / 2001).

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source
(whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain:
"There's certainly a lot of beauty in it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can leave it alone."
(H.Erhardt)
