Fountain at the Ducal Palace

Fountain on the square in front of the Ducal Palace (before renovation)

The fountain at the Herzogschloss in Straubing was created in the 18th century and is a listed building. It stands on the square in front of the former ducal palace between the buildings Schlossplatz 1 , Schlossplatz 2 and Schlossplatz 4 .

history

The running fountain probably dates from the 18th century and used to stand on the town square. The city model from 1568 already showed a fountain at the current location. In 1851 a "barracks well" is mentioned here, belonging to the barracks housed in the castle. A renovation began in September 2017, which cost 100,000 euros and was concluded with a ceremony in September 2018.
