=============

- Monument
- Other architecture, infrastructure, culture destinations
- Fountain

A sculpture of an oversized nail in front of half-timbered houses in the sunshine, surrounded by trees.

A round stone fountain with a hanging bucket, set on a paved surface in a park-like setting.

Red brick buildings form the backdrop for the metallic sculpture "Hungerbrunnen" in the sunshine.

To the left of the district court, a fountain from 1793 has been uncovered.

 It was restored through donations.
