    The name “Armesünderbrunnen” literally means fountain for the “poor sinners.” This was the term used in the past for people who had been sentenced to death for a crime.
    On the border with Kühnhaide, the gallows of Zwönitz once stood. It is already marked on a historical map from the year 1610.
    According to tradition, those sentenced to death were allowed to drink one last time at the Armesünderbrunnen before their execution.
