The first sandstone spring casing from the 1940s was redesigned in 1973 and acquired its current representative appearance in 1985. A bronze plaque by Erich Husemann from Trappstadt has commemorated the importance of the Franconian Saale since 1987. The spring stream flows southwest through Alsleben, where it joins the Fleusengraben, and joins the left source stream north of Bad Königshofen-Untereßfeld.

The Franconian Saale originates in the Grabfeld near the Haßberge Mountains, east and southeast of Bad Königshofen, respectively, from two roughly equal, 3.9 km long source streams: Its right and northern source streams originate from the Saalbrunnen (not to be confused with the Saalbrunnen, also located in Franconia), approximately 1.7 kilometers east of Alsleben, a district of Trappstadt. The spring is located in an open field, less than 500 meters from the Thuringian border, just off the NES 45 district road, which leads to Gompertshausen. The young Franconian Saale rises there at 313 meters above sea level, below the Kapellenberg (390 meters above sea level). Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fr%C3%A4nkische_Saale

The St. Ursula Chapel is a pilgrimage church dedicated to Saint Ursula, dating back to the mid-18th century. It is located one and a half kilometers southeast of Alsleben near Bad Königshofen in Lower Franconia, in a wooded area close to the Bavarian-Thuringian border. As early as the 15th century, a church dedicated to Saint Ursula stood on the mountain. This was destroyed during the Peasants' War in 1525, but was soon replaced by a small new chapel. In 1704, the widow of the Sternberg castle builder Wolff Dietrich Truchseß von Wetzhausen (Baroness Eva Rosina) donated the relics. As a result, the chapel quickly became a popular pilgrimage destination, attracting up to 10,000 pilgrims annually. In 1750, construction began on a new, larger church, which was consecrated in 1754. In 1803, St. Ursula's was closed, but after protests, it reopened in 1811. Source: https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Ursula
