"... The bronze fountain was designed by the Aachen artist Bonifatius Stirnberg. In 1986 the work of art was presented to the public in Dorsten and installed on the market square. The four corners of the fountain symbolize four relevant scenes from Dorsten's history - from the purchase of the city rights from Archbishop Konrad from Hochstaden to the beginning of mining. The individual groups of figures are even movable and can be rotated. ..."
