Mauermann fountain

The sculptor Günter Mauermann has created an impressive work of art made of bronze and granite. The fountain, which was named after him, was created in 1985/86 as a sheet of pictures with a veil of water, and can be marveled at in Unterer Markt. The sculpture is structured like a collage, which provides colorful views of the city’s history and the customs of the Upper Palatinate. The pictures have themes and show examples of people from the city – you’ll find everything from a barber surgeon to a tailor to a guitar player to a traveling artist from the fair to an alderman, all the way to a disabled beggar. The work of art is also enriched by typical scenes from the Altes Eichamt and the Latin school, as well as religious figures.
