The market square in the city center is lined with pretty gabled houses from the 16th and 17th centuries. A simple fountain rises in the middle of the square. The Assmussen-Woldsen Fountain or Tinebrunnen for short was created by Adolf Brütt. The structure is comprised of a figure rising from a bronze fountain bowl on a base ornamented with a frieze. Water-spouting fish heads are embedded in the granite basin. The Tine in Husum is reminiscent of two of the city's benefactors: Catharina Asmussen and Friedrich Woldsen, from whose names the short form for the figure is derived. It is known as the "Tine fountain", but the market fountain with the imposing lady is actually called the Asmussen-Woldsen monument.
