The good old canal. There used to be far more ships sailing on it. But who knows, with current oil prices, maybe it'll be profitable again. The locks in Kriegenbrunn and Möhrendorf are being rebuilt – a massive construction project.

The Pauli Fountain, funded by the Pauli Foundation, was built in 1889 in the center of the market square based on a design by Friedrich Wanderer by the sculptor Georg Leistner, the bronze caster Christoph Lenz, and the stonemason Georg Suter. Designed in the late Renaissance style, the fountain features two allegorical figures dressed in ancient garments above the main basin: Erlangia, with the symbols of local industry and trade, and Alma Mater, with the symbols of scholarship. The structure in the center of the fountain features relief portraits of Margraves Christian Ernst and Alexander, and Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria. Source: Wikipedia
