Imagine you're in the midst of a vibrant carnival parade — that's exactly what this fountain represents! Take a closer look at the figures. They dance and laugh, as if they’ve just stepped out of a Rhineland carnival procession. These sculptures tell stories of joy and exuberance, deeply embedded in the city's culture. Look up, and you'll see the jester keeping a watchful eye over the scene. At night, the fountain transforms into a glowing spectacle, casting a festive light over everything around it. Turn around and take a glance at the Osteiner Hof — the perfect backdrop for this lively celebration. Every detail here invites you to embrace the playful spirit within.
