The Simson fountain was built on the market square in 1685 by Casper Junghans the Elder in Rochlitz from Falkaer sandstone. Due to major storm damage in 1931, the fountain made of Lower Franconian shell limestone was reworked. In 1979, the artist Heinz Plath created a third version made of Postaer hard sandstone. For several centuries, the well was used for drinking and service water at the same time. The character "Simson" is shown as a lion tamer and embodies the strength of the city of Gera.

The biblical figure Samson adorns the fountain in the heart of the city. Samson, shown here as a lion tamer, embodies the strength of the city of Gera with his indomitable strength.
