Apparently the city fathers of Wertheim thought they needed a little help with the place in 1574. When they constructed this well, they topped it with carvings of angels - holding the city's coat of arms no less. It is said to also have statues of eight people who were important in the town's history.
I didn't know this at the time of my visit, but supposedly there are carvings of skeletons of a general and a pauper on the building right behind the well. Since you can't tell one from the other, maybe there's a message there.
