This square is also called Schrannenplatz. The Baker's Fountain is also located there. It was built in May 2013 and is dedicated entirely to the theme of bread. Therefore, it stands near the former granary (=Schranne). A farmer, a miller, and a baker sit on a stylized sheaf of grain.

Since May 2013, the Bäckerbrunnen (also called Brotbrunnen) has adorned Schrannenplatz in front of the former granary. The fountain is entirely dedicated to the theme of bread. Three bronze figures, symbolizing the journey of grain, are enthroned on a stylized sheaf of wheat: a farmer with a flail, a miller with a millstone, and a baker with a bread peel. Bronze sacks of grain, which serve as seats, lie around the fountain. The Bäckerbrunnen was designed by the sculptor Josef Walk from nearby Roßhaupten.

Here at the bread market, the Füssener bakers offered their goods in the Middle Ages. The square developed from a Carolingian royal court and some houses still have beautiful late Gothic gables. The lute maker fountain is a reminder of Füssen's time as the cradle of European lute and violin making. The figure on the lute maker fountain represents Kaspar Tieffenbrucker, one of the most successful lute makers of the known dynasty
