The Rottbrunnen symbolizes the Rott Order and the Rott Road. The Rott Order regulated the transport of goods, and the Rott Road from Augsburg to Venice ran through Partenkirchen.

The Rottbrunnen commemorates the history of the historic transport of goods through Partenkirchen. As early as the Middle Ages, the town was an important trading post on the route between Italy and Augsburg. The so-called Rottverkehr referred to the organized transport of goods across the Alps. Merchants and carters brought wine, textiles, and food, among other things, through the town. As a result, Partenkirchen developed into a significant trading center with inns, stables, and warehouses. The Rottbrunnen, with the rooster on its top, reflects this past and reminds us of the importance of the old trade route.
