The various elements and figures symbolize the facets of the Attendorn carnival: The "Bütt", where every visitor can make his or her speeches and from which a jet of water slides into the fountain when entering; the wagon with the city coat of arms and the indispensable cat (Kattfiller), representing the street carnival; Mariechen as a sign for dance sport; as well as the "Kattfiller", the symbolic figure of the Attendorn carnival. The basic shape of the fountain basin on the corner of Niederste Strasse and Schemperstrasse is confetti.
The fountain was created by the artist Thomas Schütte from Schmallenberg. The idea came from the "Initiative Fools' Fountain". The fountain is part of the Leader funding project for the sculpture trail "Customs and City History in Attendorn".
