The story behind it
This is one of the folk customs of the Franconian Switzerland region: decorating wells and fountains at Easter with greenery, flowers and painted eggs. The custom originates from gratitude for water as life-giving in this dry region. In Franconia and Forchheim, these Osterbrunnen symbolize spring and the Easter holiday.
