Schönbrunn is a 14th-century fountain located in the Great Market Square of Nuremberg, Germany. It is 19 meters high and in the shape of a Gothic spire. This fountain is close to the Market Square and the Church of Our Lady. It is one of the main attractions of Nuremberg and attracts many tourists to visit. The Schönbrunn is extremely beautifully decorated, with a total of 40 sculptures, which vividly show the worldview of the Holy Roman Empire. These sculptures include philosophy, the seven liberal arts, the four gospel authors, the four godfathers, the seven electors, the nine great men, Moses and the seven prophets. Each sculpture is rich in historical and cultural connotations. There are two brass rings on the fence of the fountain. Legend has it that spinning them can bring good luck. This tradition has attracted countless tourists to try it, hoping to bring themselves a bit of luck. Schönbrunn is not only a masterpiece of architectural art, but also a symbol of Nuremberg's history and culture, which is worth savoring.
