The White Tower itself (Weiber Turm - built in 1250), which is located next to the fountain, which is originally part of the fortifications fortress Nuremberg, later became "input" into the subway. A subway ventilation shaft, derived almost in the middle of the square, demanding the "aesthetic disguise." It was decided to establish on the spot out of the mine fountain ...

Mature couple Chained eternal quarrels;
Skeletons of husband and wife, continue to strangle each other and after the death of sitting on the back of a huge lizard dragon, which appeared from the depths of hell ... On paw lizards can see the inscription "01.07.1977" - the date of the adoption of a new law on divorce in Germany;
