"The Ochsenbrunnen is on the market square in the center of Rhens.
The Ochsenbrunnen was opened in May 2003 as part of the urban redevelopment, which also included a redesign of the Rhens market square. The partially movable plastic, which is particularly popular with children, depicts a farmer driving an ox to the cattle trough. The fountain is supposed to remind of the cattle trough that had been at this place for a long time and was a place of communication for the citizens of Rhens. "

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source,
where it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'well':
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly much beauty in
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it."
(H.Erhardt)
