    The "brave Kronicher women" were immortalized in stone and bronze with this fountain by the Kronach sculptor Heinrich Schreiber. The inscription reads: "In honor of the brave women who defended our city in 1634, scared away the enemies and even soaked them violently."
    The scene alludes to the third siege of Kronach from 18-22. March 1634 by troops of Duke Bernhard von Weimar, who was in Swedish service, during which the women of Kronach poured hot water in butten on the attackers, causing them not inconsiderable losses.
    The fountain was donated in 1990 by the Kiwanis Club Frankenwald.
