The fountain represents the background story of the Deißlingen fools, when a ring was to be pulled through the nose of the young stud bull in 1910. A rope was put around his neck for this. But the animal fought back, the men pulled harder, and in the end the bull, popularly known as "Hage", was dead; strangled. Today, the corresponding figure of a jester and the fountain that depicts the scene are reminiscent of the poor guy and the overzealous rope holders.

This sculpture invites you to take a short break. The story behind it is quite amusing.

On May 22, 1910, a curious and tragic event occurred in Deißlingen that still shapes the local carnival celebrations today:
In the bull stable, a breeding bull named Hagen was to have a nose ring inserted – common practice at the time for better control.
But Hagen was anything but happy: With rolling eyes and flaring nostrils, he violently resisted the procedure.
To immobilize him, his head was pulled through the feed store with a rope – a tricky but brutal method.
When the blacksmith finally attached the ring and the rope was removed, Hagen collapsed: He was strangled, never producing offspring.
