The real "lucky" ring is in the west of the gate.
West is where Norma is roughly 😉.
Oh yes... and the ring is also supposed to make you return to Nuremberg as a foreigner (tourist) 😍

Master Kuhn, who built the gate around the fountain, had a daughter called Margret, who was courted by his apprentice. But because he did not want to give his child to a poor boy, he forbade this courtship and threw him out. The apprentice is said to have said: "It will be as little use as you can make the rings on the fountain gate turn!" The master went away on a trip and the apprentice wanted to prove that he could do something and secretly made the ring. Then he cut it open, inserted it into the gate, soldered, hammered and filed until the seam was no longer visible. He then left the city and never returned. When the master returned home, he regretted being thrown out and would have liked to have the clever apprentice back and give him his daughter too. The brass ring is usually considered to be the lucky charm, but many Nuremberg residents believe that the iron ring is the "real ring" and therefore the lucky charm.

The beautiful fountain stands on the edge of Nuremberg's main market square. It is shaped like a Gothic church spire and is one of Nuremberg's main attractions and is also part of the Historical Mile.
Legend has it that whoever turns the golden ring on the fountain's grille will have three wishes granted. There is another black ring on the opposite side of the fountain. Some people claim that this is the real lucky ring and that the "golden" one is the tourist ring... Just try it out! 😉
