The landmark of the city Kohren-Sahlis
Since 1928, the pottery fountain has its place on the market Kohrener and has become a landmark of the city. At the same time, it stands as a tribute to the pottery industry, which was once so flourishing here.
Since that time Kohren-Sahlis owns a fountain of art with this fountain, which is unique in Germany in its kind.

Chosen little town
Where does Kohren run off,
Such wet from pipes,
How we inherited it here!

Little town over hills,
Your pot and crumbs
Outsmart everything,
What the others are doing!

Little town blessed,
Whether it's snowing, raining,
Whatever you encounter,
Town is blessed!

Börries Freiherr von Münchhausen

Every year in winter a wooden hood is placed over the fountain to protect the valuable tiles. It shows different motifs of the Kohrener environment and the fountain itself.

Some shops are still there, so you can still call it a marketplace.
