    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).
