Who are the figures at the top on the crown of the fountain? They represent the pillars of the town: the local council, the economy, the administration and the church. The choice of figures was a subject of intense debate in Hechingen as some of them were still alive. The following Hechingen personages can be seen:
1 - Councilwoman Hilde Wallishauser
2 - Manufacturer Friedrich Biedermann
3 - Former mayor Norbert Roth
4 - Former town pastor Theodor Seeger
