The fountain is located directly in front of the tourist information. At Easter, for example, it is very strikingly decorated.

A "lost stocking" is to blame! He got the most talked about.
A memorial was set up for him in Lauterbach.
"I lost my stocking in Lauterbach...". Certainly some of you have already heard this beautiful folk song. This melody was born out of the craftsmen's romance. It is a song of carefree joie de vivre from the time of journeyman hiking. The monument in Lauterbach refers to this folk song.
It sounds symbolically from the mouth of a young singer in praise of the little town.
This monument was created by Professor Knud Knudsen, a well-known sculptor who also artistically designed busts of the German Federal President.deutsche-fachwerkstrasse.de/Regionalstrecken_Staedte/Vom-Weserbergland-ueber-Nordhessen-zum-Vogelsberg-und-Spessart/Lauterbach.html?show=sights
