Fountain of the Zurich people

The Fountain of the Zurich people was built in 1884. It is the oldest fountain in Strasbourg. The natives of Zurich who where allied to Strasbourg, wanted to prove that they could come to help so fast that a hot millet gruel would still be warm when they arrive. They were successful: after 18 hours of travelling, the gruel was still warm.
