Beschreibung

The fountain was built in 1880 so only once Bretten belonged to Baden (since 1803). The legend of the Bretten doggy is well-known, not only locally. It tells the tale of a small fattened doggy, that epitomized the fact, that the citizens still had enough food during the siege in 1504 and consequently the enemies left.The fountain of the Bretten doggy is one of the most important symbols of Bretten and its picture decorates innumerable postcards, advertising leaflets, gift packages and much more.
