The sculpture of Samson is dressed in armor and he is holding a lion that he has just defeated. This motif symbolizes strength and bravery. The fountain itself is richly decorated and shows the high level of craftsmanship of the time.

The Simson Fountain, originally also known as the Schaal Fountain, is located on Kramgasse in Bern's old town. It is one of Bern's old town fountains from the 16th century.

The Simonsbrunnen is just one of many historic fountains along Bern's historic streets. By far the most spectacular fountains are lined up along Spitelgasse, Marktgasse and down to Justicesgasse. But it is also worth diving into the side and parallel alleys and alleys from the prison tower. Again and again one meets the liquid contemporary witnesses of Bern.
