A Landmark that Shaped Traunstein

The Lindl Fountain is one of the most well-known symbols of Traunstein. The figure was created in 1526 by Master Stephan and has represented the city's identity at the square for centuries. The exhibition presents this history not dryly, but as a vibrant stroll through urban development, memory culture, and craftsmanship.

In the museum, visitors encounter images, objects, text panels, infographics, as well as video and audio elements. This creates a multi-layered event experience that combines expertise and atmosphere, making the significance of the Traunstein fountains for urban life visible. The historic deep well and the development of the city square will also be highlighted.
