The Sturmius Fountain depicts three important saints:

St. Boniface – the "Apostle of the Germans" and founder of the Fulda Monastery

St. Sturmius – the first abbot of Fulda

St. Benedict – the spiritual father of the Benedictine Order

These figures symbolize the city's religious roots and are artfully carved in stone. They lend the square a special historical and spiritual atmosphere.

The fountain figures represent Boniface and the founder of the order, Benedict, as well as Sturmius, the founder of the city of Fulda. In contrast to Boniface and Benedict, the Sturmius was executed as a bronze figure in order to emphasize its importance for Fulda.

From the Osthessen News from 2009: "Anyone who is looking for St. Sturmius in the cityscape of Fulda, the actual founder of the monastery and thus the city, has so far looked in vain, except for the modern sculpture in the cathedral deanery garden. But not for long. Because Fulda's mayor and head of cultural affairs, Gerhard Möller, would like to see him To give companions of the diocese saint Boniface a "visible place of remembrance" in the heart of the city.A Sturmius sculpture rediscovered a few months ago in the garage of a restorer is intended as a bronze cast to complement the previous group of figures in the fountain on Borgiasplatz with Boniface and the founder of the order Benedict ."
