On St. Mang Square, directly in front of the church of the same name, there is an Art Nouveau fountain from 1905: the St. Mang Fountain. The fountain, which is now a listed building, was created by Georg Wrba, one of the most important German sculptors of the 20th century, and is made of stone and bronze. At the center, under a protective canopy, is Saint Magnus of Füssen - Apostle of the Allgäu - and around him you can see an ibex, a doe, a stag and a unicorn. A young one sits enthroned on each of the animals. One of them has human feet, the other flippers, the next hooves and one bird's claws, which symbolizes the four elements.
