On October 1, 1911, the youngest fountain on Bad Königshofen's market square, the Luitpold Fountain, was inaugurated. It features a vase-like fountain bowl with a bulbous fountain stem, adorned with lion heads. Above it is a base with coats of arms-bearing putti and a baluster column with a figure of the Reaper, limestone and bronze, by Balthasar Schmitt (1858–1942), 1911.

There are three unique fountains surrounding the town hall: the Luitpold Fountain under the linden tree, the Michael Fountain, above which the wrought-iron archangel "floats," and the Four-Tube Fountain. The Four-Tube Fountain is built in front of the "Schlundhaus" (Throat House), making it one of the oldest and most striking buildings on the market square. During the Thirty Years' War, the fountain was already fed by a water pipe, making it an important part of the town of Bad Königshofen. Today, the Röhrenbrunnen is traditionally decorated on special occasions such as Easter or Christmas.
