Just to put a bit of Gasoline into that fire = the child eater's hat is a Jew's hat, the figure is a Jew, reminiscent of an alleged ritual murder committed in Bern (Rudolf von Bern). ( source WIKI in german) I do not see any Goat like features in that sculpture... where does THAT come from? And another thing= the Date 1666 comes from the oldest known mention of the Name Kindlifresserbrunnen, while the fountain itself dates from 1545 as discovered as the fountain was relocated some feet in 1997 to make room for the new tram line.
