The springs of Nuremberg are actually a 19-meter-high octagonal pyramid, which looks like a Gothic spire building spewing from the ground in the main market square (Hauptmarkt), hence the name. Shuiquan is decorated with 40 golden statues, including emperors, prophets, religious heroes, etc. The iron railings around the tower are embedded with gold rings (Goldener Ring), which are said to be able to rotate three times.
