The name Zinsfelder refers to a medieval town servant who collected the market penny (interest) on the market square (-feld) and paid attention to peace, order and honesty in the village. As a market Roland, he stands for market freedom. The octagonal column is decorated all around with a relief work that depicts allegories about the four seasons.

Via a former old long-distance trade route, the today's pedestrian precinct, with houses from the 17. and 18. Century leads one to the wood market.

This triangular street market from the late 17th century is decorated very impressively by the Zinsfelder Brunnen. He was commissioned by the sculptor Georg Schledorn in 1660 and painted by the painter Lorenz Reincke. Around the octagonal pillar, the fountain is decorated with a relief work, allegorical over the four seasons.

Originally, the fountain stood in front of the town hall, but in 1869 had to give way to its present location due to the new water supply.
