In Wangen's lower town is the historic bathhouse. Here, you can see how people practiced personal hygiene in the late Middle Ages. In front of the bathhouse windows stands the headwashing fountain. A man has his head washed by a bathmaid.

Headwashing Fountain, Wangen im Allgäu

The Bathhouse or Headwashing Fountain commemorates one of the imperial city's former bathhouses. It stands on the city wall on the banks of the Argen River in front of the former bathhouse building. The fountain sculpture was created in 1993 by Gisela Steimle from Bad Urach-Sirchingen. In a cheerful tussle, a resolute woman is busy "washing the head" of a resisting man.

Headwashing Fountain, Wangen im Allgäu

Would you like a headwash?

At the headwashing fountain at the back of the bathhouse, a resolute woman washes the head of a man who is resisting it. A popular photo opportunity!

A walk along the Argen, the river that flows through Wangen, offers wonderful relaxation and also leads to various hiking, walking, and walking trails in and around Wangen.
