Irmgardis Spring

Highlight • Natural Monument

The Irmgardis spring is located below the Irmgardiskapelle, on the southern slope of the Heiligenberg. The source enclosure is a round wall behind a fountain grille, in which a plate-shaped supply line leads water into a collecting basin about 50 centimeters below, which in turn drains into the so-called Heiligensiep. The edging of the Irmgardis spring dates back to 1663. The natural water supply gradually dried up, and so it was artificially created by connecting it to the public water supply for around 1970. This is served from the nearby sports field and is only carried out in the frost-free season.
The water was generally considered to be medicinal, it was used especially for fractures and fever. It was also drunk by young women who begged God's blessing on their marriage in the Irmgardis Chapel.
In addition to this miraculous healing meaning, the Irmgardis spring is widely known as the place of origin of children. If the desired child was to be a girl, the grandmother had to throw a piece of gingerbread into the spring pool; a piece of gold was thrown into the spring when they wanted to have children, as well as a sugar cube.

Irmgardis Chapel

Highlight • Religious Site

The Irmgardiskapelle stands on the Heiligenberg in the Süchtelner heights. Saint Irmgardis is known beyond the borders of addicts. Her bones are in Cologne Cathedral.
Countess Irmgardis was born at Aspel Castle in 1025 and died in Cologne in 1085.

After the death of her parents, she allegedly gave away her inheritance and lived as a hermit in the place where she is revered today. Every day she went to church in Helenabrunn.

"The Irmgardiskapelle is a symbol of the religiosity of the citizens of the former town of Süchteln. It is known beyond the borders of the city. This shows the number of visitors every year on September 4th, the day of Saint Irmgardis' death, or on the following Sunday The festival of St. Irmgardis is celebrated with special solemnity. Tradition also includes the festive procession of the 300-year-old St. Irmgardis-Schützen-Brotherhood Süchteln-Dornbusch on the following Monday morning. "
