The fountain in the middle of the square commemorates the humanist and cosmographer Sebastian Münster (1488-1552), who worked for several years in the Franciscan monastery (Barfüßerkloster) located here at the beginning of the 16th century. Michael Schoenholtz created the fountain in 1978, when Karlsplatz was being redesigned as part of the construction of a new underground car park.
