nurmberg-21.jpg - Tugendbrunnen (Fountain of the Virtues), in 1589, the iron caster, Benedikt Wurzelbauer, completed the Fountain of the Virtues. Six allegories of the three theological and the three cardinal virtues with their attributes are placed on a round platform: Faith with a cross and a chalice, Love with two children, Hope with an anchor, Courage with a lion, Moderation with a jug, and Patience with a lamb. Above the figures, cherubs carry the two coats of arms of the City of Nuremberg. The seventh virtue, Justice, stands on the top of the pillar with blindfolded eyes, a sword and a crane as a symbol of alertness.
