The fountain with the water carrier standing in front of the town hall is the city's landmark. A young girl stands walking on a pedestal, carrying a stool on her shoulders from which two buckets of water hang. The monument was created in 1938 in honor of the women who, when Schöningen was suffering from the hardest water in Germany, brought buckets of “soft” water from the few public fountains into the houses so that housewives could cook and wash, what with the hard Water was not possible.
