The fountain in front of the Old Town Hall in Bad Vilbel features several bronze figures depicting the historical practice of drawing mineral water from a well. This sculpture symbolizes the importance of mineral water to the town as a "spring town" and illustrates how water was traditionally drawn from the springs. It stands in the old town on the market square, right next to the Fountain and Spa Museum.

The Old Town Hall of Bad Vilbel is a listed half-timbered building dating from the late 15th century (first mentioned in 1498) and is one of the oldest surviving buildings in the city. It stands on the market square in the old town and formerly served as a meeting place, administrative building, wine cellar, and even a jail. Today, it is primarily used as a registry office and is a central historical landmark of Bad Vilbel.

The "Bad Vilbeler UrQuelle Fountain" is a striking ornamental fountain in the Bad Vilbel market square. Its colored cones symbolize the geological strata and the water cycle from which the famous Bad Vilbel mineral water originates, including the health-promoting Römerbrunnen spring, one of the most mineral-rich springs in Germany. It represents the purity and origin of the water, which is drawn from deep rock strata in the region.

What it is:

Symbolic ornamental fountain: With its colored cones, it represents the various rock strata (Carboniferous, Rotliegend, Tertiary, Basalt) through which the water flows in Bad Vilbel.
