On the market fountain, which has been in use since 1600, a lion shows the ducal coat of arms and the city coat of arms with the blue man. The fountain represents the city's abundance of water. Originally essential for the water supply to the citizens, it lost this function when the water pipes were built to private households. However, the people of Blaubeuren vehemently prevented the planned dismantling of the fountain. In 1816, the stone basin, which had become leaky, was replaced by modern, cast-iron plates. These were considered indestructible, but were also very expensive. For this reason, rich decoration had to be dispensed with. Thus, only the city coat of arms, state coat of arms and year adorn the basin. The fountain column with the mighty lion, which holds the city coat of arms and the ducal coat of arms of Wirtemberg in its paws and shows travelers who is in charge in the city, is still a reminder of the original stone Renaissance fountain from the 16th century. The lion holds the city coat of arms and the ducal coat of arms of Wirtemberg in its paws and shows those passing through who is in charge in the city.

Beautiful fountain in the middle of the half-timbered houses in the city center.
