The Anna Seiler fountain features a stone woman pouring water from a pitcher into a basin. She holds a cup in her other hand, representing the temperance and care Anna Seiler provided when she founded the first hospital in Bern in thirteen fifty-four. This statue replaced an older wooden version in fifteen forty-six. While the figure depicts a historic benefactor, the fountain served as a practical water source for residents, with the statue reminding them of the city's commitment to public health.
