Helpfulness
Füssen was famous as the cradle of the commercial manufacture of lutes in Europe. Here in the town on the River Lech the first European lute-makers’ guild was founded in the 16th century, and up into the XIXth century the town produced renowned violin-makers.
In addition to the lutes and violins from the XVIIth to XIXth centuries, the Munich master violin-maker Karl Leonhardt donated the equipment of his workshop which documents the various stages in the production process of a violin. There is a monument to him on one of the town’s square
The area of the present-day Bread Market is thought to have been the origin of the medieval town. Today it is here that the Lute-Makers Fountain recalls the historical importance of Füssen as the "Cradle of Lute-Making“ in Europe.
One of the finest collections in Europe of historical lutes and violins are exhibited in the Füssen Municipal Museum.
