As part of the redesign of the Memmingen wine market in 2008, the city of Memmingen announced a competition for a new fountain. The competition theme was the "Twelve Farmers' Articles" adopted in March 1525 in the Memmingen Kramerzunftstube on the wine market.
In August 2009, the twelve fountain models submitted were evaluated by a jury. First place could not be awarded at first, as the jury members wanted to see the reference to the farmers' articles implemented even more strongly in the models and concepts. Four artists were then given the opportunity to improve their designs.

Since 2014, the Freiheitsbrunnen by Augsburg artist Andy Brauneis has stood on the Weinmarkt in Memmingen. The basic idea of the fountain by Andy Brauneis is twelve bronze tablets, which - seemingly "placed" on top of each other - form a nine-meter-high, four-sided tower. Invisible nozzles are incorporated into the individual tablets, spraying water from the high stele. On the base made of 49 stone cubes, excerpts from the Twelve Articles of the Peasants (in the modernized version by Heide and Steffen Ewig) can be read on bronze tablets.
