Originally a wooden structure, the well on Emskirchen’s market square, which was used to water the horses of the post house and as water supply for all Emskirchen, was replaced by a stone fountain with a Hercules statue in 1800/1801. This fountain had been bought from the neighboring municipality Baiersdorf. The fountain statue had been transported to Emskirchen on a three-horse carriage owned by Maria Christina Eckart and driven by her son Carl August.[1]
