The Ellritzen fountain opposite the ice cream parlor on Schlossplatz tells the history of the city of Jülich. The figures on the fountain are famous people who were important to the city, such as the architect from Italy who built the citadel a few hundred years ago. Toads sit at the edge of the fountain, because anyone born in Jülich is called Muttkratt (mud toad). (juelich.de/lw_resource/datapool/_items/item_6493/juelichkennenlernen.pdf)
