St.-Mang-Brunnen

The St.-Mang-Brunnen features a canopy supported by four columns, with bronze sculptures depicting animals and riders positioned around the fountain basin.

In 1905, sculptor Georg Wrba won a competition to design this fountain, leading to extensive testing with wooden models to determine its optimal location.

The fountain displays the statue of Saint Magnus of Füssen, portrayed as a young man holding a crucifix, representing the religious heritage of Allgäu.

Located near St. Mang Church tower, the fountain's placement allows sufficient space for markets and public gatherings in the square.

The four riders mounted on animals symbolize natural elements, with their feet designed as human feet, bird claws, fins, and hooves.
