    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.
