Where Spalentorweg meets Schützengraben, a fountain was set in 1864, which was long called the "Schützengraben fountain". It was certainly familiar to the young Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900). As a professor at the university, he spent a decade in Basel from 1869 to 1879.
During these ten years, he lived mostly in the vicinity of this fountain. Shortly after his arrival in Basel, the thinker found a room as a subtenant of a seamstress at Spalentorweg 2. From July 1869 he had another room at Schützengraben 47 until he moved into his first own apartment.
