Lots of fountains in Basel and after walking down the hill from the Hardstrasse tram stop towards the Basel paper mill, I was ready for a drink of fresh water!
This fountain is in a lovely square not far from the Rhine. The column is four-sided above the basic that is eight-sided. There are trees in the square though they're bare this time of year. The fountain dates back to at least 1865.
If you're drinking, stick to the moving water and not the pool.
