There are numerous beautiful houses around Marienplatz. The Lederhaus with its painted facade is particularly noteworthy. It stands opposite the town hall and used to serve as a market building for shoemakers and saddlers. In summer you can climb the Blaserturm and have a great view of Ravensburg from there.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source (although it corresponds to poetic license / if this 'source' is a 'well'): Namely the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and "Noch'n Gedicht" (Another poem), with a short four-liner: "There is certainly much that is beautiful, about the element, the wet one. Because you can drink the water. But you can - also leave it." (H.Erhardt)
