Tips

The Roider-Jackl Fountain was erected in 1977 in honor of the folk singer Jakob "Roider Jackl" Roider. The figure depicts him with a guitar in a typical singing pose. His mocking hymns, often directed at politicians, are reflected in the fountain: six water jets symbolize his sharp-tongued criticism.

Jakob Roider (1906–1975) was a Bavarian folk singer, Gstanzl poet, and cabaret artist.

He became famous for his biting, humorous songs, with which he satirized the "bigwigs" at strong beer festivals—that is, he took aim at politicians and celebrities.

Even during his lifetime, he expressed a wish for a monument "where the water flows out"—an ironic reference to fountain figures.
