Fontaine Roesselmann, Historical fountain in central Colmar, France
The Fontaine Roesselmann features a white stone statue of public judge Jean Roesselmann standing on a base supported by four decorated columns.
Created in 1888 by sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, the fountain commemorates Jean Roesselmann who died defending Colmar against the Bishop of Strasbourg's troops in 1262.
The fountain represents local governance and municipal independence through its depiction of Roesselmann, modeled after Hercule de Peyerimhoff, the mayor of Colmar.
The monument stands at Place des Six-Montagnes-Noires, accessible through various walking paths and public transportation routes in the center of Colmar.
Water-spouting creatures and fish decorate the pedestal of the fountain, which illuminates at night to create different visual experiences throughout the day.
