What secrets does the Auquell-Brunnen hold? Here at the intersection of Neckarstrasse and Mühlsteg in Bad Cannstatt, the Auquell-Brunnen has quenched thirsts and captivated onlookers since 1833. Designed by Roland Gerlach, this isn’t just a fountain, it’s a testament to the power of nature. The Auquell-Brunnen is a natural artesian spring. This means the mineral water rises to the surface under its own pressure. No pumps are needed. The water, sourced from a 1832 drilling, gushes forth with such force that its resting pressure can reach almost seven meters above ground level. The Auquell-Brunnen was renovated in 1981. This renovation included a stunning glass tower next to the main fountain. Part of the spring water ascends this glass tower, creating a mesmerizing visual display. This showcases the natural power of the Auquell-Brunnen for all to admire. The water itself is remarkable. It contains roughly 1000 milligrams of mineral content per liter. The Auquell-Brunnen, along with the Mombachquelle, is part of the Bad Cannstatt-Berger mineral water deposit. This vast deposit boasts a daily output of 22 million liters. This makes it the second largest in Europe, a remarkable feat of nature. So next time you visit the Auquell-Brunnen, take a moment to appreciate not just its refreshing water, but also the incredible natural forces that bring it to the surface. This unassuming fountain represents a powerful connection to the earth beneath our feet.
