 **City fountains**

Originally, there were two municipal fountains on the city square, the upper and the lower city fountain. Both were built in the 16th century. The upper town fountain had a fountain figure created by the sculptor Hans Püchler from Linz. It represented a knight with a flag and a shield with the municipal coat of arms on it.

Today’s city fountain opposite the town hall is a replica of the Renaissance town fountain from the 16th century.
