Hiking

At the beginning of the 20th century, plans were drawn up to build a monumental fountain on the market square. Otto von Northeim was chosen as the monument hero. In 1907 the fountain with the bronze count was completed and ceremoniously unveiled. However, in 1918 the bronze statue was melted down for the armaments industry. The base of the fountain was later moved in front of today's city center and is still there in an unadorned condition after it was renovated in the 1980s.

Unfortunately, the old "Graf Otto" is only present in very old photos.
