History / Description: The well trough is rectangular. On the pillar it has a triangular gable on which an acorn stands. The gargoyle juts out from the middle of the well column. The fountain is located in the courtyard of "Schöne Hus". This house is probably the oldest surviving residential building in Basel. Based on structural findings, it is believed that the house was built in the second quarter of the 13th century.
Special: The fountain can only be visited during working days during the day.
