    The Michaelis fountain on the market square in Kronach, which is named after Archangel Michael, the town's patron saint, was first mentioned in 1543.

      The fountain at the town hall is marked here, not the one at the Freedom Column/Church.

        The fountain is named after the archangel Michael. You see him on the pillar with a shield and a raised golden sword.

        The octagonal fountain basin is made of sandstone.

        On the four sides of the fountain pillar you can see four stone faces. The face on the north side shows Duke Bernhard of Saxe-Weimar. In the Thirty Years' War (1618 to 1648) he fought on the Swedish side and also attacked the city of Kronach. The two women's faces on the east and west sides probably represent the Duke's lovers who accompanied him on his campaign.
