EN: The fountain in the Oberdorf quarter is on the edge of the main road at the junction to Arboldswil. It has a long drawn stone trough with the fountain column on the narrow side. Column and trough are dated 1821; at that time, the wooden fountains already described in 1757 were replaced by the current ones made of stone. They were produced in the workshop of the stonecutter Joseph in Solothurn. Until 1968, next to the fountain stood still one of the seven Buchhüsli (wash houses) of Ziefen.

DE: Der Brunnen im Oberdorf steht am Rand der Hauptstrasse bei der Abzweigung nach Arboldswil. Er hat einen langgezogenen Steintrog mit der Brunnensäule an der Schmalseite. Säule und Trog sind mit 1821 datiert; damals wurden die schon 1757 beschriebenen Holzbrunnen im Dorf duch solche aus Stein ersetzt. Sie stammten aus der Werkstatt des Steinhauers Joseph in Solothurn. Bis 1968 stand neben dem Brunnen noch eines der sieben Buchhüsli (Waschhaus) von Ziefen.
