The Thirteen Linden Fountain on the town hall square is an artistic representation of the overcoming of paganism by Christianity, based on the epic poem "Dreizehnlinden" by Friedrich Wilhelm Weber.

The Thirteen Linden Fountain - art and history in stone and water

The Thirteen Linden Fountain is a work by the freelance artist Werner Klenk from 1988. It is fed by nine water sources. Two plants entwine at the intersection of the water columns: the water lily as a Saxon tribal symbol of the Engern people, who lived near Driburg, and the iris or lily as a symbol of the Franks. The 25 reliefs attached to the fountain surround show motifs from the epic "Dreizehnlinden".
