On the fountain's column, as well as on a plaque on the neighboring house, the legend is inscribed:
Emperor Charlemagne, who died in 814, hunted in this area a few years before his death. He got lost in the forest and was tormented by intense thirst. Then he saw a dove take flight, and hurrying to this spot, he came to the source of this little fountain. Refreshed, his hunting party soon found him again, and out of gratitude to God, he built a church and monastery near the spring, thus becoming the founder of the town of Feuchtwangen.

According to legend, Charlemagne was nursed back to health by this spring. This is also noted on the pedestal.
