The fountain represents Provost Jean Roesselmann, who lost his life defending Colmar at the Porte de Bâle against the greed of the Bishop of Strasbourg in 1262, after Bishop Walter de Geroldseck invaded.

It should be noted that the facial features of this statue are those of another "resister", the mayor of Colmar Hercule Jean-Baptiste de Peyerimhoff, who challenged the annexation of Alsace after the French defeat of 1871 and was forced to resign. The statue was dismantled in 1943 to be melted down. It was found badly damaged in the Rhine port, restored and reinstalled in 1945.

The statue of Auguste Bartholdi (1888) depicts the provost Jean Roesselmann who in 1262 his life Bishopsselmann, he openly victorious springs Colmar and the common liberties against the commands and greed of the Strasbourg. The one who passes for the first Colmar hero has the trait of Hercule de Peye from 1855 to 1877, who became official because he is set to submit to German history. The bronze statue was restored in 1943 and repositioned on a white stone monument decorated with four fish.

The statue by Auguste Bartholdi (1888) shows the Vogt Jean Roesselmann, who lost his life in 1262 victoriously defending Colmar and the communal liberties against the troops and the desires of the Bishop of Strasbourg. This one, considered the first Colmar hero, has the traits of Hercule de Peyerimhoff, mayor of Colmar between 1855 and 1877, who was deposed when he refused to submit to the German authorities. After the Germans dismantled the bronze statue in 1943, it was restored and re-erected in 1945 on a white stone monument decorated with four fish.
