This fountain is a testament to Samson's strength - he has the lion's mouth apart with his hands. The statue was donated by the Burcher's Guild so it is not surprising that he has a weapon and butcher's tools on his belt!

The Lady Justice has a sword in her right hand and the golden scales of justice in her left, and her eyes are blindfolded. An her feet are a sultan, emperor, king and pope with closed eyes, showing their reverence for justice. When Napoleon's army marched into Bern, soldiers stole the sword and scales!

This fountain is not the original as it had to be removed due to damaged feet, the tablet being shattered and other deterioration. The current one is from 1791 and the sculptor was Nikolaus Sporrer from Konstanz.

The flat on the second floor of Kramgasse No. 49 was rented by Einstein from 1903 to 1905. It has been restored in the style of that period to reflect Einstein's crucial years in Bern. The flat is open to the public. From the main train station you get to Kramgasse No. 49, if you take the direction of "Bärengraben," walking under the right-hand arcade.
