    The fountain stands on Langertstraße, approximately at house number 80, at an ascent to the Burgstall. The plaque is a replica of a seal of Emperor Frederick I. Barbarossa. The inscription reads: IMPERATOR FREDERIC[US] DEI GRATIA ROMANORU[M] (German: Friedrich von Gottes Gnade Kaiser der Römer).

    I have ridden past the fountain a few times without noticing it.

    In honor of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa, who according to a 16th-century legend is said to have held a court day here, a Barbarossa fountain was erected below the castle ruins. In 1426, the last member of the family was documented in connection with Aalen.

    It's a bit hidden, so you can only see the fountain from the street if you know where it is.
