(The Fountain of Sinne known as "Sinnbrunnen")
 La Fontaine de la Sinne dite "Sinnbrunnen" Située au pied du Dolder, cette fontaine mise en place au milieu du 16e siècle sous sa forme actuelle, servait particulièrement à jauger et à nettoyer les tonneaux, barriques, cuves, baquets, hottes et autres récipients utilisés par les viticulteurs.
Sa colonne centrale est surmontée d'un lion héraldique sculpté portant, à droite, le blason des seigneurs de Horbourg (propriétaires de la cité jusqu'en 1324) et, à gauche, le blason de Riquewihr (qui reprend l'étoile des Horbourg et les trois bois de cerf, emblème des Wurtemberg, nouveaux seigneurs de la ville).
