Great fountain with lots of details. This fountain has two predecessors that are reflected in its current form. The fish sculptures depicted mischievously represent character traits of the Geislingen citizens and the refugees from southern Moravia and the Giant Mountains who have settled here. The elephants go back to the coat of arms of the Counts of Helfenstein, the founders of the town. The theme of the Trout Fountain refers to the famous poem "The Trout" by Christian Friedrich Daniel Schubart, who lived in Geislingen from 1763-1769. This poem was written in 1782 and was set to music by Schubart himself as a simple piano song. A generation later, the composer Franz Schubert also wrote a melody for it, which he then used as the theme in the variation movement of his quintet op.114. This work was therefore given the nickname "Trout Quintet".
