The golden shimmering "Octroi fountain" bubbles in front of the Weissenburg. It is reminiscent of times under French rule, when Octroi houses stood at the entrance to the city gates, where customs officers collected a kind of consumption tax (Octroi) on the goods of traders who wanted to enter the city. The fountain is made of brass, hammered by the artist Peter Zimmermann from Riegel am Kaiserstuhl so that it looks like stacked coins. The work, including installation, cost around 250,000 euros.
