Queck fountain (Queckbrunnen)

Short facts

  • Coburg
  • Sights
The Queckbrunnen, first mentioned in a document as early as 1325, stands at the beginning of Queckbrunngasse, at the junction with Steintor. It probably provided water long before that. Around 1405, the spring dried up. In 1601, two springs were again discovered under the fountain, which were re-filled with stones in a vaulted niche. In 1886, the fountain was redesigned into its present form. The fountain still feeds from its own spring. It lies below street level and can be reached via a staircase flanked by round stone posts and six steps. The lower-lying well niche features the well outlet with a cast-iron lion's head on the curved back wall between two stone benches.
