In 1999, the city council commissioned the sculptor Peter Lenk (*1947) to create a fountain for the landing stage, based on a clay model. The theme was to be an incident in which the Alsatian postmaster Andreas Egglisperger, during a frozen lake in early January 1573, unknowingly rode from the Swiss shore across Lake Constance to Überlingen. This story had already inspired Gustav Schwab (1792-1850) to write his ballad "The Rider and Lake Constance." The fountain's unveiling was a great surprise: the horse was not a historical figure, but Martin Walser (1927-2023) – one of the most important German writers of the 20th century and a citizen of Überlingen since 1968. With his skates on, the artist, known for his satires, takes aim at Martin Walser, who, with his views, sometimes treads on the slippery slope of German history. The scandal, which reverberated far beyond the city, prompted the two local financial institutions to withdraw their financing commitments. Portraits of the then directors, depicted as "Lurch" and "Fischdrücker," are part of the fountain basin.
