Sebastian Franck (also Sebastian Franck von Wörd, Latin Sebastianus Francus Woerdensis, pseudonyms Friedrich Wernstreyt, Felix Frei; * 1499 in Donauwörth; † 1542 in Basel) was a German theologian, writer, publicist, chronicler, geographer, philosopher, translator, and printer. After studying theology, Franck initially served as a Catholic priest, then embraced the Reformation and became a Lutheran preacher. Later, he relinquished the ministry and devoted himself to writing, adopting a radical Reformation stance and a critical view of authority. In Strasbourg, he published a world chronicle in which he offered scathing criticism of both ecclesiastical and secular authorities, leading to his expulsion from the city. In Ulm, where he ran a printing press from 1535 onward, his "heresy" once again brought him into serious conflict, which again ended with his powerful opposition forcibly expelling him. Consequently, in 1539 he fled to Basel, where he continued to work as a writer and printer in his later years. At the heart of Franck's worldview and understanding of history was an unusually radical rejection, for the time, of any form of religious paternalism. As someone affected by the bitter religious conflicts of the Reformation, he saw the root of the problem in confessional dogmatism. He considered this an inevitable consequence of the establishment of the institutional church system. Therefore, he fundamentally rejected all forms of church organization and advocated for impartiality in confessional disputes. He saw the church institutions as the cause of the corruption of Christianity. Above all, he condemned the connection between church and state and state intervention in religious disagreements. Far from the controversy surrounding the state, he condemned the connection between church and state and state intervention in religious disagreements. ] ... Franck replaced external authorities, including the Bible, with the "inner word" in the mind of the individual as the guiding principle, the norm of knowledge, and the sole source of salvation. He also emphasized the role of historical and individual experience as a source of knowledge. His historical studies led him to a devastating assessment of the exercise of power in the monarchical state. However, he saw no path to improvement in violent rebellion. ........

The actual fountain, the Fisherman's Fountain, is a little further back.

The hall church was built in 1726 according to a design by Johann Rigalia the Younger. It consists of a nave, a recessed, three-sided choir on the east side, and a choir flanking tower on the north wall, the lower floors of which originate from the choir tower of the previous building from the 14th century.

With a length of 80.5 m, a width of 27.7 m, and an interior height of 24 m (nave), the Marienmünster (St. Mary's Minster) is the largest monastery basilica and the most monumental building of the 14th century in Bavarian Swabia. Built between 1352 and 1387 under Abbot Ulrich III Niblung, its floor plan is a Latin cross with its beams of varying lengths. Because the strict rules of the Cistercian order did not permit towers but only turrets, the church has only a 46 m high crossing tower.
