The figure of the Moor goes back to a legend according to which a Moor came to Eisenberg as a servant to a countess in the age of the Crusades. As a supposed thief of a valuable piece of jewelry, the Moor was sentenced to death and could only be pardoned shortly before the execution, when the countess found the "only" misplaced piece of jewelry. To make amends, the moor was given his freedom and was included as a figure in the city's coat of arms.

The Moor Fountain is the landmark of Eisenberg in Thuringia.

It is located at the rear of the market square in Eisenberg, stands between several shady linden trees, and is sometimes barely visible at first glance.

The legend behind the Moor:

"Many hundreds of years ago, when the Counts of Eisenberg still lived in the old castle, one of these counts brought a Moor back from a crusade to the Holy Land as a servant, according to the custom of the time.

One day, the count's wife lost her precious golden chain

and, despite all her searching, could not find it.

Suspected of theft fell on the Moor, and he was to be executed.

Shortly before his sentencing, the countess found the chain in her prayer book.

The count granted the Moor his freedom. But to restore his unjustly desecrated honor, the count incorporated the Moor's head with the blindfold over his eyes into his coat of arms."

The Moors were highly valued because of their loyalty. He had served the count faithfully and honestly for a long time, when one day his wife missed her precious gold chain and, despite all her searching, could not find it again.

Of the count's servants, only the Moor was around the countess and in her room on the day the chain was lost. He was immediately suspected of having stolen the missing chain. He was immediately interrogated, captured and, although he protested his innocence with tears and pleas, sentenced to death. The execution of the verdict was set for the same afternoon.

When the hour of the beheading of the otherwise loyal and devoted servant approached and
