The Mühlstein rock formation was formerly called Schlageterfelsen. The rock formation was named after Albert Leo Schlageter. With his death in 1923, the Freikorps fighter Schlageter was elevated to a national hero by the political right. The "Schlageter cult" produced numerous Schlageter monuments at the time. After the rock formation near Kleinwendern became a gathering place for neo-Nazis, it was decided in the 1980s to remove the inscription in the rock and rename it "Mühlstein". In 1799, the formation, behind which a cave is located, was referred to as "the camp".

The spring's enclosure on the Kösseine ring road was named after the long-time Kösseine district manager Karl Kraus. He made a name for himself by building various facilities in the Kösseine area.
