    Market square with town hall and market fountain. In 1499, the ducal master builder Peter von Koblenz built a four-kilometer-long water pipe for the market fountain. Given the only 22-meter difference in height between the spring in the Oberer Leudelsbach area and the market square, this was a masterpiece. The tubular fountain, with its constantly flowing spring water, made daily life much easier. On market days, nets of live fish were hung in the trough to keep them fresh. In 1580, the Leonberg stonemason Jeremias Schwartz created the fountain figure, a knight in Renaissance armor holding a shield bearing the duchy's coat of arms and the Markgröningen town coat of arms. In 1866, the old stone fountain trough was replaced with a cast-iron fountain basin. In 1930, the figure was restored and mistakenly depicted holding a sword. In 1945, the French occupiers cut off the sword and buried it in the market fountain. In 1959, sculptor Hermann Berner created a cast of the armorer, restoring the Märktbronnamå's command staff, a symbol of the authority of the authorities. The original now stands in the Wimpelin Courtyard.

          Markgröningen is part of the German half-timbered street.

            The former imperial, residence and official city of Grüningen became known nationwide for its traditional folk festival, the “Shepherd's Run” that takes place every August, and its impressive town hall. The city, which is linked to the imperial storm flag, became the focus of the state's history in the 13th century, when the king and count fought over it. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Markgröningen
            There is much to see. The town hall on the market square is its own highlight. The oldest half-timbered houses date from the 14th century.

                A town center with flair and great half-timbered buildings.
