The focal point of Bad Königshofen is the large market square with its three ornamental fountains: the Luitpold Fountain under the linden tree, the Röhrenbrunnen (Tube Fountain), and the Michaelsbrunnen (Michael Fountain), above which the wrought-iron angel "floats." The Vierröhrenbrunnen (Four-Tube Fountain) in front of the Schlundhaus (Thrush House) was fed by a water pipe even before the Thirty Years' War, making it an important part of the town. Also located on the market square is the medieval Kornstein (cornstone) from 1525, which formerly served as a grain measuring device.

A grain measure for 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and 1/1 Metzen stands in the middle of the market place, completely unobserved and hardly noticed by most. A Metzen corresponds to 20.5 liters of grain. The grain was filled in at the top, the opening sealed and then bottled.

On the market square in Bad Königshofen, you'll find three beautiful fountains: the Obelisk Fountain, the Luitpold Fountain, and the Michael Fountain. All three have their own history and are worth seeing.
