under monument protection: noHistory / Description: "Ranzenedi" (Bonvivant) sitting on the edge of the well and can dangle into the water with rolled up pant legs, his feet and lower legs. The collar is intentionally high, to avoid that, when water is splashed Wind bib. Unfortunately, for some years the water pressure is not strong enough that the beam could come up into the mouth of "Ranzenedi". The nickname "Bonvivant" got the gourmets well probably not wrong.
Special: The water passes through the feet of "Ranzenedi" back into the trough.
