The Saxonia Fountain, which once adorned Chemnitz's Roßmarkt, has been on the redesigned Johannisplatz since the beginning of July 2011. The existing base and the attachment were restored. The bronze figures of the blacksmith and spinner on the sides, as well as the figure of Saxonia, which fell victim to a metal donation during the war, were recast with donations. Instead of the former two-tiered pedestal, the fountain was placed on a single-stage pedestal during the reconstruction. According to the chairman of the Saxonia Fountain Association, Peter Fritzsche, the former fence was intentionally omitted during the reconstruction, so that people can approach the fountain and experience it more consciously. The newly cast "Saxonia" is considerably smaller than the original and somewhat simplified in design. For example, the large Saxon coat of arms, which used to explicitly identify the figure as a personification of Saxony.
