A beautifully crafted fountain with many details and sayings about water.
The water is drinkable!
Next to it is the St. Nicholas Chapel at the edge of the old cemetery.

Artwork by Ulrich J. Sekinger
Size of the system approx. 300/280/280 cm
Material bronze/stone
Year 1988
The artist studied between 1973 and 1976 with Prof. Peter Dreher at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe. He was then a master student of Prof. Klaus Arnold, who was rector of the university at the time, until 1978. In 1984, Ulrich Julius Sekinger and others founded the artist association “The Untimely”. The sculptor and painter sees himself committed to narrative naturalism; formal experiments by risk-taking innovators are alien to him.
