According to legend, Hagen von Tronje killed the Nibelung hero Siegfried at this well after a joint hunting trip. The unsuspecting Siegfried leaned down to the spring to quench his thirst. Hagen thrust the spear through his shoulder, his only vulnerable body.

What happened before: Siegfried defeated the dragon and bathed in its blood, which made him invulnerable. Since a linden leaf had been placed on his shoulder and therefore no blood could "work" there, this exact spot was vulnerable. But how did Hagen know that? Quite simply, he had previously asked Siegfried's wife Kriemhild to mark this vulnerable spot with a cross stitch in Siegfried's robe so that he, the good friend, could better protect Siegfried's life. The rest is history.
By the way, there are said to be at least four (!!) Siegfried fountains in the Odenwald...

The Siegfried fountain at Grasellenbach was "discovered" in 1844. Siegfried wells in the sense of the Nibelungen saga are called fountains in the Odenwald, at which Siegfried von Hagen von Tronje is said to have been murdered. A total of four wells in the Odenwald and the Kraichgau be associated with the events.
