In the gable of the tower you can see Joachim Habrecht's astronomical clock, which shows ten different possibilities:

4. The moon's rising and setting in the sky
5. The sun's position in relation to the zodiac
6. Seasons

8. Lunar nodes
9. Eclipses
10. Aspects between the sun and the moon. The black and gold ball above the Roman numeral XII on the clock shows the waxing and waning of the moon.

At the southern end of Fronwagplatz is the Landsknecht or Metzgerbrunnen, a four-tube fountain and the largest fountain in the city. The heavily armed Landsknecht figure on the fountain column symbolizes the well-fortified city of Schaffhausen.

Fronwagplatz

Highlight • Settlement

The Fronwagplatz always invites you to linger or go shopping. Daniele with the best pasta in town and Cafe Nordlicht with delicious dishes and coffee. The Take Away Cibus is right next to the Northern Lights - just delicious!
If you walk in the other direction, along the Vordergasse, you will reach numerous shops, cafes and the Saturday morning market.
