For the sculpture of the fountain, Jan Witte-Kropius was inspired by texts in a booklet that Dr. Richard Flachs had published in 1918 under the title Pirna Legends and Stories. They come from various older publications and refer to events and people from different times, all of which have a special connection to the history of the city.
