February 26, 2025, Neun Brunnen Park and Springs

The area of today's "Neun Brunnen", located south of the town of Heiligenstadt in the Pferdebach valley, was first documented in 1634. It got its name from the nine springs (Neun Börner). The area is still rich in springs today, although the exact number is not known. As early as the 19th century, the area of the "Neun Brunnen" was a popular destination for Heiligenstadt families. People would meet up in company and have picnics. People could make their own coffee to accompany their meals. Gastronomy has been in operation since around 1880.

The approximately 13 hectare reservoir "Glockengraben Teistungen" is 1 km east of Teistungen. It was completed in 1986 as a service water reservoir for agriculture. Its location in the former restricted area resulted in the settlement of a species-rich flora and fauna. After the border was opened, the idyll for rare animal and plant species was suddenly threatened by water sports enthusiasts and day trippers. Intensive agriculture endangered the water quality of the lake. Through constructive cooperation between the Teistungen community of participants, the Lindenberg/Eichsfeld administrative community, the Office for Regional Development in Gotha and the Heinz Sielmann Foundation...
