    Moor fountain at Fronwagplatz (1535)
    Previously called the sword fountain. In 1535 the wooden fountain was replaced by a stone one. Column 1520. Named after Kaspar, the youngest of the three wise men, depicted as a Moor with a curved sword, gold cup and coat of arms. Affectionately known locally as "de Mohrejoggeli". This original fountain figure symbolizes the wealthy city citizen.
