Four golden women or virgins reverse the obelisk built in 1825 on the Hotmannspief.

The cold water flowing from her jugs invites every thirsty for a short linger. The place of the fountain, which was built in 1825 after designs by Adam Franz Leydel, is historical. As early as the 14th century, there was a running fountain at this point, which was only enlarged in the 16th century and provided with a water bowl. Perhaps his name is because of that, because the fuels, also called hot men, were allowed to soak their horses on this fountain after the trip.
