By the physician Christoph Keil the sour well became famous in 1729. On July 14, 1957, the inauguration of the re-opened well took place. The fountain pavilion is still there and can be seen from afar. The tasty medicinal water is taken from a hand pump. Even today, people come from near and far to bottle bottled water.

Hiking

There have been repeated attempts to use the spring for spa purposes. Around 1728, Dr. Christoph Heinrich Keil, a physician from Wunsiedel, tried to revive the spa operations. This led to a new design for the spring by Margrave Georg Friedrich Karl of Bayreuth, whose initials (GFCMZBC 1728) could be read on the spring's edge.
