The Denkmalsbrunnen Ehrenfriedersdorf is a cultural monument on the town's market square, consisting of a low pedestal with a small arch and adjoining garden area. The structure features an iron gate decorated with peacocks and figures made by blacksmith Max Großmann, along with a base carved with animals and a coat of arms shield.
The monument was built in 1907 to celebrate the town's 500-year anniversary, based on the belief that Friedrich the Streitbare had granted town rights in 1407. Later research revealed this ruler had no actual connection to Ehrenfriedersdorf, leading to discussions about its removal.
The monument bears the name of the ruler to whom the town attributed its founding. The stonework displays carved animals including lions, fish, and dolphins that visitors can still observe today.
The monument is located on the town's market square and is easily accessible from the street. The site is freely accessible and can be visited at any time since it is situated in public space.
The bronze statue nearly faced destruction during World War II and was scheduled to be melted as scrap metal. While the pedestal and iron gate survived, the sculpture itself outlasted all destruction plans due to its artistic value.
