This fountain was designed by an artist from the region and is reminiscent of the Füssen girls' school, where lessons used to be given in house number 14. Like the bottom of the fountain, the streets of Füssen are said to have been paved with pebbles from Lech.
A girl is also sitting by the fountain with a book, which you can look over her shoulder and read along with.

With its bronze figures of girls by the Roßhaupten artist Josef Walk, the fountain commemorates the girls' school in Füssen that once occupied house number 14. The fact that there are two girls is due to the fact that two women conceived the idea for the fountain. The Lech pebbles on the ground are a reminder of the town's history: this is how Füssen's streets were once paved. In winter, the figures wear woolly hats and scarves.
