A Swedish fountain for Eschau – the artist Winfried Becker didn't come up with the name himself. A "Swedish fountain" already stood at the same intersection where a market square is now to become Eschau's new center. The old pump fountain is the successor to a draw well, which had a column with a carved head, the "Swedish head."

The lock crossing is not suitable for e-bikes. There is no bridge over the Main River from here to Wertheim. Those who want to cross to the railway should use the bridge in Freudenberg.
