Totenborn Spring

The 'Totenborn spring' is better, but not correct, known as the 'Blutbach spring'. From here you have an impressive view of the 'Totental'. The name of the spring comes from a bloody battle in which the Saxons under Duke Widukind and the Franks faced each other in 782 on the Dachtelfeld. The large Franconian army was crushed. The water of the stream is said to have turned red from the blood of the many fallen. However, since the Blutbach rises in the Wellergrund, this source cannot be the Blutbach source, but, as is known in old traditions, the Totenborn source.

Beautiful spring pond with year-round water. On the limestone slabs fossilized Rippelmarken of the sea

The explanations on "hoefingen. Net" are based on reading the city HO "Hohenstein Walk".
The information given in the city's individual flyers is often not entirely correct.
Totenborn and Blutbach are one and the same. From a geological point of view, the Blutbach has two source areas, one running underground, which emerges above the valley of the valley and the other in the upper area of the Wellergrund.
The spring pond does not have water all year round. In the summer months it is mostly dry.
