    The fountain is adorned with the four figures of the Schonach carnival: Geißenmeckerer, Geißenmaid, guild witch and pagan hunter. All of them were cast from bronze in a bronze foundry near Altötting. The designs for this come from the local master sculptor Donatus Ketterer. The Geißenmeckerer stands on a local granite plinth and measures a proud four meters high. The cost of the fountain for the guild of fools was around 70,000 euros, most of which was raised by around 150 sponsors.
