Saubrunnen: Boy With Piglet

Took a picture of the fountain (extra) and the "Boy With Piglet" on my way home from a meeting with the chimney sweeps (we kind of played "good cop - bad cop" - I was the bad cop and enjoyed it).

But back to the fountain: I blipped it in 2013 and being bad today I copied almost all the text from the old blip:

The fountain is from 1890.
It is called "Saubrunnen" (normally Albrechtbrunnen) because of the in 1911 added sculpture "Boy with Piglet":
A symbol for the old civil right of driving your hogs to the forest for mast.

mast: the fruit of the oak and beech or other forest trees, used as food for hogs and other animals
