The fence around Nuremberg’s Schöner Brunnen, *The Beautiful Fountain*, went up because people feared the water might be poisoned. The golden ring set into it has a better story.

A craftsman’s apprentice fell in love with the master’s daughter, and the master said he wasn’t good enough. The apprentice made the ring, fixed it to the fence and left the city. The master saw it the next morning and decided he was the best husband for his daughter. The apprentice never returned. Turn the ring three times and make a wish.

VoiceMap’s tours tell the legend at the fence and name the fountain’s 40 figures, from Moses to Socrates. They also explain why an emperor sits under the church clock across the square.
