Hidden between the many small and winding alleys, the facades suddenly widen into a square with southern flair.

Around the Wittelsbach fountain there is a hustle and bustle in the small shops and the many street cafes. There's a lot to discover...

The fountain was created in 1555 as a 'scoop fountain'. The reason for this was the construction of the first water pipe from the Innstadt.

This fountain was crowned with the so-called "Brunnenliendl" - a late Gothic figure who carries a shield with the city coat of arms in the right hand and a lance with a flag in the other. (Source: regiowiki.pnp.de/wiki/Wittelsbacherbrunnen_(Passau))

The angel figures show the three rivers of Passau: Danube, Inn and Ilz.

Danube: with ears of wheat in your hair; Ilz with pearls of pearl mussels and the Inn symbolized by the (B) angel with the Tyrolean hat.
