Tips from the Community
The fountain's large column bears four panels: one depicts Saint Ulrich, another the East Franconian German King Otto I, another the Huns, and the eastern panel depicts dates in the city's history. The water emerges from the top of the column and flows down the stone into a circular paved basin. The fountain was inaugurated in 1978 by the then mayor, Friedrich Wohlfarth, and was created according to a legend that says Saint Ulrich, through prayer or with the help of his crosier, caused a spring to spring up to quench his thirst while resting here on his journey; Ulrich fountains are said to never dry up, even in the hottest summers. The fountain originally stood west of the old federal highway, but was relocated due to the city center's planning. The fountain's artist is Josef Breitsameter.

In 1855, construction of St. Ulrich's Church in Königsbrunn began to commemorate the 900th anniversary of the Battle of Lechfeld. Upon its completion, the artist Ferdinand Wagner from Schwabmünchen painted a ceiling fresco depicting Bishop St. Ulrich offering a prayer of thanksgiving to the Mother of God at Augsburg Cathedral. In the background, the defeated Hungarian army can be seen fleeing from the Ottonian armored cavalry.

The tuff stone grave from the Bronze Age with a modern inscription; in the municipal cemetery of Königsbrunn. Text of the inscription: Tuff stone slab grave from the beginning of the pre-Roman metal age, around 1800 BC, early Bronze Age, found in autumn 1917 around 150 metres south of the Neuhaus-Bobingen road in the Berggewann. According to archaeologist Peter Linke, the grave must be re-evaluated. After the discovery of Ötzi in South Tyrol, which is a milestone in age research. According to Linke, another 500 years should be added - so the grave is not 1800 BC, but 2300 BC, making it 4320 years old.

In May 2019, the Königsbrunn city council decided to redesign the pond and its banks, and at the beginning of 2020 a company cleared the overgrown bushes. One wonders whether it will stay as it is now? After all, 385,000 euros have already been raised for the redesign - swimming in the pond is prohibited.
