At this point / I would like to say something quickly / about the source,
whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain':
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain:
"There's certainly a lot of beauty in it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can leave it alone."
(H.Erhardt)

There are several springs in the Schornbruch forest that were developed as wells before the First World War. They supplied water for the munitions factory on the L493. The Thomas fountain has ferrous water and is colored rusty red.
