The Roland Fountain, an ornamental fountain in the Renaissance style, was built in 1564. It has a diameter of 7 meters and shows Roland with a shield as a symbol of the special royal and imperial protection of the markets and as a symbol of state power. Below, to the south, is the coat of arms of the then city lord, Archbishop of Mainz Daniel Brendel von Homburg, to the east the coat of arms of the Archbishopric of Mainz, to the west the Fritzlar city coat of arms and to the west the coat of arms of the stonemasons. The water was pumped to the fountain through wooden pipes from the Eder valley.
