The Lipsenbrunnen was first mentioned in a document in 1640. There was once an asphalt lake in the immediate vicinity of Stadtlauringen's historic market square. When the remodeling was about to take place, people first remembered a water well that had existed there in earlier years. It was also known that in earlier times the night watchman had a “stopping point” at this exact spot. This is how the idea was born to build a stone night watchman and again a fountain. The artist placed her night watchman on a bench where he made himself comfortable after work or for a short rest.
