The city fountain is located on the market square in front of the beautiful old half-timbered town hall. He tells the story of how the town of Backnang was saved by geese.

The last of the three historic fountains at the town hall. (Not to be confused with the Goose Fountain!)
In 1912, the Beautification Association designed it as an ornamental fountain, featuring a figure of a water sprite with an ammonite by sculptor Emil Kiemlen.

A very beautiful fountain, in my opinion. The water sprite with the ammonite was created by the sculptor Emil Kiemlen.
One of many decorative highlights in Backnang
