Postmichelbrunnen Esslingen, Cultural heritage water well in Fischbrunnenplatz, Esslingen, Germany.
The Postmichelbrunnen features a bronze sculpture of a post rider with his horse, surrounded by detailed stone reliefs depicting local narratives.
Installed in 1916, the fountain initially caused controversy among Esslingen residents due to the positioning of the horse facing away from Ritterstrasse.
The fountain tells the story of post rider Michel Banhard through its encircling reliefs, based on a prose text from 1856.
Located at Fischbrunnenstrasse 3, the monument stands as a central reference point for navigating through the historical district of Esslingen.
The stone reliefs narrate a tale about a post rider's ghost who continued to pursue justice after his execution for murder.
