Over the years, adapting to the local dialect, Jean became Schang, which eventually became Schängel. Soon, Schängel became an epithet for the residents of Koblenz. Schängelbrunnen, or the bronze statue of a mischievous boy, is the most famous Schängel of the city. Accompanied with bas reliefs of other mischievous young boys, this fountain is notorious for sporadically spitting a jet of water on unsuspecting locals.
