The focal point of the Old Town is the Schlossplatz (Palace Square). A farmers' market is held here twice a week.

 

The Marktbrunnen (Market Fountain) stands between City Hall and the Palace. Evidence of a fountain here goes back to the early 16th century, but it was destroyed during the Thirty Years War and later restored. The fountain you see today was designed by J. Barger in 1753 and moved to its present location in 1767.
