    The market fountain was built in 1895 and is located on the market square in the southern Hessian town of Bensheim. At that time it served as a municipal water point and drinking trough for the horses. A figure of Saint George can be seen at the top. This is the town and church patron of Bensheim. Furthermore, there are children's figures at the fountain as representatives for the four seasons. The Roman mountain road Strata montana used to run in a north-south direction near this water point

      On the market fountain, built in 1895, stands the dragon slayer "St. Georg", churches and patron saint of Bensheim. The fountain column is adorned with the Hessian coat of arms and allegorical figures of justice, agriculture and crafts, as well as figures of children representing the four seasons.
