I just wanted to dedicate a blog to these beautiful fountains, as they are a big part of the town and they feature in the tourist information leaflet we were given at the Stellplatz. The information given here is copied from the leaflet itself. I hope you enjoy them.

The Seeker after Truth
The aim of this fountain is to encourage all passers-by and library users to keep extending their knowledge and so come closer to the truth.
Fountain created by Frau Gisela Steimle of Bad Urach-Sirchingen.
The Donkey Fountain
This Fountain is based on one of Aesop’s fables in which a peasant and his son take turns riding the donkey and are criticized by other people. It was created by Bonifatius Stirnberg of Aachen.

The Bath-house or Head-Washing fountain
This fountain is by Frau Gisela Steimle of Bad Urach-Sirchingen. It is located in front of the former bath-house building. It depicts the light-hearted scuffle between a woman and her husband as she resolutely sets about washing his head despite his objections.
