    The classic fountain and landmark of Mölln is the Eulenspiegel fountain.
    Nobody likes to have their weaknesses, mistakes, and vanities reflected in a mirror, especially not by a fool. Till Eulenspiegel showed no mercy and, in particular, denounced the dilapidated conditions of late medieval society. He exposed self-satisfied citizens, the corrupt nobility, and even the church. The myth surrounding Till Eulenspiegel and his numerous pranks has persisted for several hundred years, although evidence of his actual existence is difficult to provide. The oldest edition of the Eulenspiegel book, by the customs clerk and writer Hermann Bote, dates back to 1510.

    Grinning and mocking, Till sits on the fountain of the Möllner Marktplatz, his thumb stretched out to the OK gesture. We took this as a positive answer to the question of whether he had a little drinking water for us. We can not say whether REAL drinking water came from the little tap of the fountain or not. But we are still alive :-)

    There is also the most famous Eulenspeiegel monument with the rubbed thumb.
