Historic Old Town
Legend has it that «Brother Fritschi», a carnival character, is buried in Kapellplatz with its colourful Fritschi Fountain. 
 The fountain’s column depicts the Fritschi family. They are surmounted by carnival masks from the turn of the 19th century, and capping it all is a standard bearer. It is in Kapellplatz that the annual carnival starts on «Schmutziger» Thursday, heralding a week-long party which ends in the early hours of Ash Wednesday.
