History and architecture

Following the example of other cities, in 1546, at the behest of Simon Bose, a water pipe was laid from the spring on Bornsberg, northwest of the city, to his farm in Kirchstrasse. The end point was a stone water container called a kump . The supply lines were known as piping , from which the name Pipenkump or Pfeifenkump results.

The Kump at the parish church was created in 1860 when the area around the church was redesigned. The basin is made of Osning sandstone from quarries near the city.

More Kümpe, z. B. on the town hall square and at the rectory are no longer preserved.
