    The Deocar Fountain depicts Deocar, the first abbot of Herrieden Abbey, sitting under trees. The shape of the canopy symbolizes the monastery's cultivation and spiritual development of the region. A veil of water represents the ceaseless flow of history, stretching from its beginnings over 1,200 years ago to the present day. Deocar is venerated as a saint and founder/patron of Herrieden.

    Its name "Jellyfish Fountain" is probably only popular.

    Beautiful fountain on the market square.⛲️
    The mystical head shape of the crown symbolizes the land's cultivation and spiritual blossoming, and the veil of water represents the flow of history.

    The ensemble on the market square is very beautiful.
