Fritz-Keller-Brünnele (2011)

In 1926, in Degerloch near the forest cemetery , the Fritz-von-Keller-Brunnen - also called Fritz-von-Keller-Brünnele, Fritz-Keller-Brunnen or Fritz-Keller-Brünnele - created by Professor Adolf Fremd was erected in memory of Fritz von Keller ( Directions ). After the fountain ran out of water because the spring dried up due to the development of the slope above the fountain, it was rededicated as a memorial stone.
