The fountain column from the Renaissance is crowned by the double image of the Madonna in the Radiant Wreath (dated 1686).

Mary shows the baby Jesus on the side and prays on the other as immaculate. The well trough (1776) shows the coats of arms of ten Gmünder genders.

Himmelsstürmer Observation Tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The almost 40-meter-high skystriker was built in a unique wooden structure as a landmark of the sky garden for the 2014 State Garden Show in Schwäbisch Gmünd as part of a community fundraising campaign. After the end of the state horticultural show, the circle of friends took over the voluntary care of the sky striker in the future community and family park.

The Himmelsstürmer is open during the day (from 10 a.m. until dusk) from April 1st to November (at the end of the Baden-Württemberg autumn holidays).

For viewings outside of regular opening hours, appointments can be made by calling 07171/74450.

View of the Old Town and the Gold and Silver Forum, Schwäbisch Gmünd

Highlight • Viewpoint

The "Forum Gold and Silver" is located at the confluence of the Rems and Josefsbach rivers. It's one of the few modern buildings in the city center. Its attractive exterior facade changes color depending on the position of the sun. A restaurant is located on the ground floor.
