Nuremberg, Germany: Schöner Brunnen

Schoner Bruner translates to "beautiful fountain." Who am I to argue?

Thje fountain is part of the Main Market area, near the Old Town Hall. It was built in the late 1300s, and is said to represent the Roman Empire's view of the world - with tributes to a variety of different people and qualities. It also was a good source of clean drinking water back in the day; lots of stuff you don't want to know about went into the river.

There is a gold ring on the side that is said to bring good luck if you spin three times. I guess it can't hurt.
