Cologne, Germany: Heinzelmännchen-Brunnen fountain

It's easy to wonder how Cologne looks so good. It seems the workers had help.

This fountain tells the story, in a way. Gnomes came out at night to help workers complete their daily tasks. Supposedly, the tailor's wife became curious with how things got done and investigated. That drove the gnomes away for good, and the people of Cologne were on their own.

It's a cute story, and you can see the fountain right around the corner from the Cathedral.
