EN: The Kohlenberg Fountain is located just south of the high school in Kohlenberggasse. The large basin, made of stone slabs held together with metal clasps, dates back to 1813. It was originally situated in a different place. In 1857, it was taken to the present location and provided with a new fountain column.
