The fountain near the Kronen in Sindolsheim , a district of the Rosenberg community in the Neckar-Odenwald district in Baden-Württemberg , goes back to one of the town's three historic village fountains from before 1800.

history

Before 1800 there were three community-owned wells in Sindolsheim: the Kirchbrunnen, the Hasenwirtsbrunnen at the Gasthaus Zu den Drei Hasen and the Linden- or Kronenwirtsbrunnen at the Gasthaus Krone . In 1813 the fountain master Joseph Lintz from Mudau renewed the church fountain, which was converted from a draw well to a pump well . The local carpenter Georg Knaup built a well house near the church. Then the well at the Kronen , which at that time was 80 Nürnberger Schuh (approx. 25 meters) deep, was converted into a pump well. The cost of the renovation amounted to 93 guilders and 30 kreuzers, half of the construction costs were borne by the users of the fountain, as before with the church fountain. The Hasenwirt fountain was then renewed. From 1818 the community of Sindolsheim developed the Leierbrunnen to cover the increasing demand for water. The carpenter's fountain followed in 1862. There were also three private fountains: the cellar fountain, the apothecary fountain and the fountain in the button courtyard.

The village wells in Sindolsheim only lost their importance for the place with the construction of the aqueduct in 1922. The lyre fountain was filled with rubble in 1930. The fountain at the Kronen and the church fountain were preserved as ornamental fountains. While the church fountain consists of a cast-iron pump column and a cast-iron basin, the fountain at the Kronen received a walled-up fountain trough with two small raised basins over which the water pours into the large trough in addition to the cast-iron pump column after the road was built.
