If you are a fan of fountains, this probably is a worthwhile stop on a walking tour of Trier.
It was placed in the historic center of the city in the middle of the Kornmarkt. The fountain was build around 1751 and paid tribute to the sovereign at the time, Elector Franz Georg von Schönborn. Saint George and the seasons of the year are shown on it.
Naturally, World War II plays a role in the story. The fountain was damaged by air raids. They fixed it up and moved it a little, and it was ready for display. The last restoration took place in 2003.
