The Hercules Fountain was modeled by Adriaen de Vries between 1597 and 1600, then cast by Wolfgang Neidhardt in Augsburg, and erected in 1602 on the Weinmarkt in front of the Siegelhaus and the Fugger Houses. Until 1809, a complex of buildings stood south of the fountain in the middle of today's Maximilianstraße, extending to Ulrichsplatz and aligning with the facade of the Siegelhaus toward the Hercules Fountain.

A highlight for photography enthusiasts.

In the city center there are several really impressive fountains with many details to discover.

Great city center, where there is still a lot going on in the evenings on the streets and in the many restaurants and bars. The many historic buildings and their history are really worth a visit.
