    The Hanselbrunnen in Donaueschingen is a fool's fountain of the fool's guild Frohsinn Donaueschingen. As early as July 13, 1913, the fountain that Julius Kirsner gave to the population of Donaueschingen was handed over to the city. The fountain shows a historical, foolish figure of the Donaueschingen carnival. The painting of the "Häs", the Alemannic word for the carnival garment, symbolizes the battle of winter with the approaching spring. The fool figure of the Hansele is a typical white fool who occurs very often around the Baar region.
