The Mauritiusbrunnen features a bronze statue of Saint Maurice mounted on a pedestal atop a stone basin. It sits inside the former Welserhof, a courtyard surrounded by arched galleries that once served as a trading hub for the wealthy Welser merchant family. In fifteen twenty-two, the city commissioned the fountain to commemorate a visit from Emperor Charles the Fifth. The statue captures the saint in full armor, holding a banner, reflecting the city's long-standing connection to the imperial court and international trade.
