Wolfsbrunnen Heidelberg-Schlierbach

Beautifully designed and cool in every season, especially in the heat super cool!

Beautiful little park with the Wolfsbrunnen as the centerpiece. The name probably comes from the Middle Ages when a fortune teller was attacked and killed by a wolf here at the sources.

The Wolfsbrunnen is a historical fountain in Heidelberg-Schlierbach. It is a listed building.Around 1550, Elector Friedrich II had a pleasure house built with a fountain and fountains in a valley rich in springs and sloping steeply northwards to the Neckar and the fishing village of Schlierbach from below the rocky sea at Königstuhl. There were also three fish ponds once there, some of which can still be seen today. The valley of the Schlierbach, located about two kilometers east of Heidelberg Castle, could be reached from this via an old high path, today's Castle Wolfsbrunnenweg. The name of the fountain probably comes from the electoral Wolfskreiser, who drove away and caught wolves.Several sources around the Wolfsbrunnen - z. B. the "Felsenmeerquelle" - are still used today to produce drinking water. The lake below the restaurant goes back to the upper one of the former fish ponds.See de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfsbrunnen_(Heidelberg)
