The "Stone Knight" stands on the fountain's column. He represents the pride and self-confidence of the former Free Imperial City of Gengenbach.

For almost 500 years, the knight on the "Röhrbrunnen" - also called "Schwed" by the people of Gengenbach - has been leaning on his shield with the city's coat of arms and proudly pointing to the imperial city privileges in his right hand. The original (it is located in the Haus Löwenberg Museum) was created in 1582 by Max Spranger from Strasbourg and placed on its Renaissance plinth. The fountain's basin was replaced in 1796 due to damage.
