We stopped at the Vierröhrenbrunnen or the Four-Tube Fountain at Grafeneckart. It is designed in the lines of the late Baroque period and is one of the most famous fountains in Würzburg. By dint of its prime location, close to the Alte Mainbrücke or the Old Main Bridge, the Four-Tube Fountain has remained a popular landmark and meeting place for locals as well as tourists, even after the introduction of the pedestrian zone. On each of the four sides of the fountain are four water-spouting dolphins which tower over the fountain basin. An obelisk stands in a base and each corner of the base is decorated with an figurative statue of the four virtues : Gerechtigkeit - Justice : woman with scales and fasces Tapferheit - Fortitude : woman with helmet. Mäßigkeit - Temperance : woman filling a goblet with wine Weisheit - Prudence : woman with mirror and book. The coat of arms on the obelisk is from prince-bishop Adam Frieidrich von Seinsheim At the crest of the obelisk is the statue of Franconia with a duke's hat and the Frankish storm flag (Rennfähnlein). I truly eye catching and magnificent fountain...
