In the small, historic fish market, the street names remind us that fish was sold here for centuries and kept fresh by the traders in the water of the “Pau” stream. The fish puddel at the fish market is the symbol for the fish that used to be offered here. The Fischpüddelchen is a fountain monument that was built in 1911 at the fish market. The name “Püddelchen” comes from the Öcher Platt and refers to a naked toddler.
