Dominating Rothenburg’s bustling Market Square, St. George’s Fountain is a Renaissance masterpiece built in 1608. The fountain features a striking bronze statue of St. George defeating the dragon, symbolizing the triumph of good over evil. As the largest fountain in Rothenburg, it stands as a central landmark and a popular spot for photographs.
