This beautiful fountain is located at the back of St. Catherine's Church. Osnabrück children still celebrate the peace treaty of 1648 every year with home-made hobby horses.

The hobby horse riders from Osnabrück are reminiscent of the courier riders between Münster and Osnabrück during the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia of 1648. These riders transmitted the results of the consultation to the negotiating partners.
