The fountain has been created in 1984 by the local artist Wolfgang Klein. It shows a huge onion in its center.
The inhabitants of Esslingen are called 'Zwiebel' (Onions).
There's an old saying that the devil gave them this name because a market woman gave him an onion instead of an apple.
The water of the fountain is drinking water!
