Sepp Auer :
Fountain

During the reconstruction of the market square traffic was reorganised, the square itself was resurfaced. Sepp Auer's work in the framework of this overall concept focused on a fountain at the centre and a smaller drinking fountain at the bottom of the square. The fountain made of Herschenberg granite has been positioned along the square's longitudinal axis. It has a surface area of 3.4m x 3.4m and the basin stand 80cm high. At the centre of the fountain there is an upside down pyramid of steps which forms a separate basin rising above the rim of the fountain. Water runs from the upper to the lower basin, turning into a sheet of water which can be lit from inside the fountain. At the other end of the longitudinal axis, indicated by a narrow granite gully, there is a drinking fountain (40cm x 40cm x 80cm) also made of Herschenberg granite.
