    A beautifully designed crab fountain with a raven, created and built as part of Ruit's 750th anniversary celebrations, with some seating nearby.

    Bretten-Ruit (kn) The idea for the crab fountain in Ruit arose in the lead-up to the 750th anniversary celebration of the Bretten district. At a neighborhood meeting, residents brainstormed possible activities to commemorate the anniversary, and before they knew it, the idea of building a village fountain was born. The necessary location was also quickly found: the new structure would stand in the village center, near the bus turnaround next to the town hall. Concrete plans for the fountain's design and features soon developed, and the local council quickly gave its approval for the construction.
