One Aachen wine merchants visited a winemaker in the city of Zell to buy wine from him. At that time, the wines were still sold in the barrel and not in the bottle. The delighted winemaker offered the merchants three different wines. The merchants tried all the wines, but could not decide for their favorite wine. Out of nowhere, the winemaker's black cat suddenly appeared in the cellar, jumped on one of the barrels and hissed. It was clear to the merchants that the cat wanted to defend the best wine. They took the wine with them, which sold excellently in Aachen and became a real bestseller.

In memory of this cat, the wine from Zell still bears the name Schwarze Katz. Here in the middle of Zell she was with the fountain another monument set.

"Zeller Schwarze Katz" fountain The citizens of Zell have set a world-famous wine, the "Zeller Schwarze Katz" wine estate, a worthy monument to the fountain. The fountain square is located in the city center and is the center of numerous events. The fountain was created in 1936 from Eifel basalt. "He st eht ferm wie'n Zeller us'm Hamm" - "Here is a Zeller from the Hamm," is the inscription at the well, since in 1532, in the defense of Trier against the onslaught of Franz von Sickingen, a hundred Zeller made his way to Trier to ward off this onslaught. Eventually, the Trierers succeeded with the support of the Zeller population. "Source: outdooractive.com/de/brunnen/mosel-saar/zeller-schwarze-katz-brunnen/2798120

The “Zeller Schwarze Katz” fountain is a symbol of the history of the city and viticulture of Zell. He has been decorating the townscape on the market square since 1936. The fountain is made of Eifel basalt and is still preserved today in its originality.
