Das ist der Erbsenbrunnen vor der Einmündung zur Erbsenbrunnengasse. Auf einem Schild steht zur Herkunft des Brunnen-Namens geschrieben, dass hier das einzige Süßwasser der Stadt sprudelte, welches zum Einweichen getrockneter Erbsen geeignet war.
This is the Erbsenbrunnen (pea's fountain). It is situated in front of the branch to the Erbsenbrunnengasse. On a plate you can read that this fountain has given the only sweet water in the city. Therefore this water was most suitable for soaking of dried peas.
Hätte ich dem Knaben ein Feigenblatt verpassen sollen?
How about a fig leaf for the boy?
Mmhhhh, leckeres Süßwasser. Abfüllen erlaubt.
What yummy sweet water! It is permitted to bottling it.

I like this fountain very much - especially the macrophoto, what an animal...
Do you know who that little boy truly is? Do you know who posed for that sculpture? It might surprise you: former Federal President Richard von Weizsäcker! His uncle was the sculptor. He is that little boy! How is that for historical trivia? :-))
