The imperial eagle on the fountain holds the key "Petri" in its beak, which was stolen from the Bishop of Worms. The Hohenstaufen had stolen the place Wimpfen from the Worms and added this key to the heraldic animal in memory of the Worms rule.

Representative fountain from 1576 at the upper crossroads with access to the market. The symbol of the imperial city's independence is the imperial eagle bearing the Wormser key.
