Historic fountain, beautifully encased in stone, with the year 1892 inscribed on the trough. Unfortunately, it does not provide drinking water, as indicated on the water feature.

The monument commemorates the greatest natural disaster that Wolfartsweier and Grünwettersbach have experienced in their history: the flood of 1837. An information panel provides further detailed explanations of this tragic catastrophe.

Newly paved cycle path from Busenbach to Bad Herrenalb. It's going really well.

The Hengst Monument, a listed cultural monument, stands in Hengstplatz (Hengst Square) in Durlach and commemorates Christian Hengst, the former city architect of Durlach, whose initiative led to the establishment of one of Germany's first volunteer fire brigades (Pompiers-Corps) in 1846. Hengstplatz, including the monument, was built in 1896 on the former site of the cattle market to mark the 50th anniversary of the Durlach Volunteer Fire Brigade. The funds were raised through donations from volunteer fire brigades across Germany and cost 6,000 marks. The monument was designed by Hermann Götz, director of the Grand Ducal School of Applied Arts. The bronze elements were crafted by the sculptor Heinrich Bauer, and the architectural details by the firefighter and stonemason Ludwig Kleiber. The monument, situated in the center of Hengstplatz, is nestled within a garden-like setting and symbolizes Durlach's transition from an agricultural village to an industrial city. It consists of an ornamental fountain made of red sandstone. The front features a bronze relief of Christian Hengst and the coat of arms of Durlach. Two basins flank the fountain, above which sit two cherubs riding dolphins. Wearing fire helmets, they hold stylized metal fire hoses and pour water into the basins. The back displays the stylized professional emblem of the fire brigade and a bronze plaque with the following inscription: "Dedicated in gratitude to the deserving founder of the first volunteer fire brigade, Chr. Hengst, by the German Fire Brigade Corps and his home community of Durlach, 1846-1896."

The memorial commemorates the greatest natural disaster Wolfartsweier and Grünwettersbach have experienced in their history: the flood of August 11, 1837, when, following heavy rain and thunderstorms, a mudslide rolled down the Wetterbach stream and devastated large parts of both towns. Aid came from all over Baden, from Lake Constance to the Main River. The memorial commemorates this.

The 40-meter-high shotgun tower (the Zündhütle), erected in 1953, is a reminder that an ammunition factory stood here in the fields "Galgenäcker" and "Beim Hochgericht" from 1897 to 1972; the tower itself was used to manufacture hunting shotgun cartridges. The field names derive from the fact that the Durlach district's gallows used to stand on the site – just above the tower – but no remains of it remain. Executions probably stopped there in the 19th century.
