St. Anthony's Fountain at Saumarkt, Wangen im Allgäu
Highlight • Monument
The pig market used to be held at the Saumarkt. Today the fountain of St. Antonius, popularly known as "Sau-Done" in the Allgäu, remembered this tradition.
It is clearly the children's favorite fountain. At the Antoniusbrunnen, the life-size saint sits on a bench and blesses the sow; the piglets play by the water. Riding for children allowed!

Herrenstraße, Wangen in the Allgäu
Highlight • Historical Site
The "lords" of the city, the mayors and councillors, once lived in Herrenstrasse. Buildings with Gothic stepped gables and inn signs from the 18th century are remarkable. Today the Herrenstraße is one of the most beautiful streets in southern Germany. At the end of Herrenstrasse, the Frauentor, today also known as the Ravensburger Tor, is the crowning glory

Spitting Fountain of the Cunning Allgäuers (Wangen im Allgäu)
Highlight • Monument
Spitting fountain
In the summer of 1997, a monument was erected to the "repressed" Allgäuers in front of the sacristan's house at the transition from the upper to the lower town. The saying that of six Allgäuers "bent on top of each other", the lowest one is as "repressed" as the highest one, was brilliantly implemented by the Lower Bavarian artist Joseph Michael Neustifter from Eggenfelden with the fountain sculpture he created. At the inauguration, the then mayor Dr. Jörg Leist admitted that men are a little more "repressed" than the fairer sex, which is why the sculpture is "pure-bred". The artist suggests that the clergy are not free of "repression" either with the lowest figure, which represents a clergyman. Various figures such as the "soft-spoken man" and the "card player" weigh on him. The lower figure with the mask held up is the sculpture that turns it into a fountain: it spits at unsuspecting passers-by at intervals, at least during the warm season. Anyone who gets wet in this way is responsible for the damage and does not need to worry about the mockery or malicious joy of those around them!

Post Square, Wangen in the Allgäu
Highlight • Historical Site
At Postplatz there are still some remnants of the oldest city fortifications, which became superfluous due to the later inclusion of the lower town in the wall ring, such as the priest's tower shown. Next to the tower you can see the back of the back part of the town hall, which was built in Romanesque times.
