"The "Basilisk Fountain", a typical Basel fountain, of which 27 examples are still in use in today's Basel (the basilisk has been the most famous landmark of the city of Basel since the 15th century), is a reminder of the close ties between the city of Neuenburg am Rhein and the City of Basel in the earlier centuries. The fact that the basilisk became the symbolic animal of the life-giving fountain is an indication of the ambivalence of the superstitious ideas of the Middle Ages, which feared witches and demons, but at the same time attributed healing, supernatural powers to them."

A beautiful fountain but unfortunately without any information. It would be great if there were more drinking water fountains for cyclists
