The Drunkard's Fountain, also known as the Knight Hattstein Fountain, is a humorous monument in Limburg's old town. It commemorates Knight Hattstein, who was famous for his love of drinking in the 16th century. The fountain figure depicts the knight in full armor – with a jug in his hand, ready for his next drink.

The old station was once a lively place, full of sounds: steaming locomotives and waiting travelers. Freight cars were shunted, signals clicked, and the waiting room smelled of coal and fresh newspapers. This was where journeys to distant lands began or where workdays ended in the commuter traffic that shaped the life of the region. Today, the station has become silent; the tracks have disappeared or have become cycle paths. The station building bears traces of time, perhaps a café, a residential building, or simply a silent memory. But if you look closely, you can still recognize the rhythm of past decades—the course of the tracks in the grass, the ramp at the goods shed, the sign with faded lettering. The old station speaks without words of new beginnings and change, of technology and humanity, of the time when the train still meant heartbeat and connection here.
