Fountain:

The fountain with bronze figures in the Oude Markt (Old Market) in Enschede is the
fire memorial commemorating the great city fire of 1862. Designed by Ludwig Nick, it features reliefs depicting flames, firefighting efforts, and fleeing people. It is an important historical monument in the central square, which also houses the "Ei van Ko" (Cologne Egg), a more modern artwork.

City Hall:
The City Hall was built between 1930 and 1933, designed by architect Gijsbert Friedhoff (1892–1970), on the site where town halls had stood since the 16th century.

The Dassel company supplied the flooring and wall coverings for this building, using various materials.

The building is a fine example of the renowned Delft School and was inspired by Stockholm City Hall. Friedhoff completed an internship in Stockholm during his studies.

In 1927, it was decided that the building should not be ostentatious.

On September 15, 1930, Mayor Edo Bergsma laid the foundation stone, and on August 5, 1933, the town hall was officially opened.
