We viewed this fountain during the coldest spell Nuremberg has seen in years. Temps below freezing and snow. Please submit some photos of the fountain in action or visit the website to enjoy some views.
"Bitter-Sweet Married Life"
(partial translation obtained thru googling)
God be praised and honored
who has given me a god-fearing wife
with whom I have lived for twenty-two years
God gave me a home even longer
Although in my married life
both sweet and sour have often happened
'My wife' is heaven and hell, devil and angel, peace and strife.
