In the last days of the Second World War, from April 13th to 16th, 1945, 700 years of history were destroyed, burned down, reduced to rubble and ashes. The reconstruction in a relaxed style, interspersed with small green areas with comfortable seating, revived the homely charm of a medieval town - now equipped with all modern facilities. Like the phoenix from the ashes, Waldenburg was able to renew itself from the rubble in a rejuvenated form. The Phoenix fountain by the well-known sculptor Hermann Koziol on the market square symbolizes this sinking and resurrection.

Opposite the Evangelical Church of St. Ägidius is the Phoenix Fountain. It commemorates the almost complete destruction of the city in the last days of World War II and the reconstruction that followed. So Waldenburg rose like a "Phoenix from the ashes".

The myth (legend) of the Phoenix bird has always fascinated people. Its origins go back to the ancient Egypt of the Pharaohs.
