The fountain once served as an important water source for the residents of the old town and underlines the medieval backdrop of the city.

The Warrior Fountain in Nördlingen is an impressive Art Nouveau monument that has been located on the Rübenmarkt square, right next to St. George's Church, since 1902. It was created by the Munich sculptor Georg Wrba and commemorates the fallen soldiers of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71.
