    The fountain was built in 1910. He is named after the biggest financier Carl Schlegel. Striking is the pigeon girl.

    When the ceremonial handover of the newly built town hall took place on October 14, 1912, the Schlegel fountain in front of the town hall was also consecrated.
    The main figure symbolizes Döbeln's connection with its rural surroundings.
    The pigeon girl is left-handed, which should emphasize the heartfelt gesture.
