    Dietfurt has had the strange reputation of a "Chinese city" for over 100 years. In the 18th century a chamberlain of the Eichstadt bishop is said to have tried unsuccessfully to collect the taxes. "The people of Dietfurt seem like the Chinese who hide behind the wall," he told his bishop. The people of Dietfurt were never offended by this name. On the contrary - since 1928 they have been celebrating their "Chinese Carnival" on the Thursday before Shrovetide under the direction of an emperor. The original Chinese fountain has stood in the middle of the village since 1962: a fat, Far Eastern figure with water splashing from its body.

        Dietfurt am Altmühl is a pretty town. Here in front of the town hall you can take a break on the benches.
