[DE]Im Zuge der Sanierung des Neumarkter Residenzplatzes gestaltete Lothar Fischer 2001/02 die Brunnenanlage „Drei Reiter“, die sowohl inhaltlich als auch städtebaulich auf das historische Ensemble Bezug nimmt.

Er gewichtete damit den Platz. Inmitten des ehemaligen Pfalzgräflichen Gevierts von Schloss, Residenz, Reitstadel und Hofkirche blickt man so auf die Geschichte Neumarkts zurück, denn Ritter und Pferd waren über viele Jahrhunderte Normalität für die Neumarkter Bürgerschaft. Bis 1909 stand sogar eine Bayerische Chevauleger-Eskadron in der Stadt.

[EN] In the course of the redevelopment of Neumarkt's Residenzplatz, Lothar Fischer designed the "Drei Reiter" fountain in 2001/02, which refers to the historical ensemble both in terms of content and urban planning.

He thus weighted the square. In the midst of the former Palatinate district of castle, residence, riding stables and court church, one thus looks back on the history of Neumarkt, for knights and horses were the norm for the citizens of Neumarkt for many centuries. Until 1909, there was even a Bavarian chevauleger escadron in the town.
