Albrechtsbrunnen on Albrechtsplatz, Rheinfelden
Archduke Albrecht VI stands proudly above the fountain and overlooks the cosy Albrechtsplatz. The popular attraction previously stood in a different place for a long time.
Named after the Austrian Archduke Albrecht VI.
The Albrechtsbrunnen was first mentioned in 1442. However, the Rheinfelden banner bearer only received his current name around a hundred years later - that of Archduke Albrecht VI (1418-1463). The fountain figure is a copy. The original, created in 1542, has been kept in the Fricktal Museum since its restoration in 1958/59.
The fountain received a new trough in 1539 and 1618, and the current double trough dates from 1850.
Albrechtsbrunnen or Spitalbrunnen.
The fountain once stood directly next to the city hospital and was therefore also called the Spitalbrunnen. The hospital and adjacent properties were demolished in 1869 in order to widen the Marktgasse to the north. Albrechtsplatz, named after the fountain and Archduke Albrecht VI, was built on part of the area that was freed up.
