The first evidence of coal mining in this area comes from 1780. The coal was close to the surface and could be extracted in open-cast mining. From 1820, four pits (called Prinzengrube) in the Tiefenbachtal were also mined in tunnels. The concession holders were the brothers Karl and Philipp Cetto from Langenfelderhof, today Wendelinushof. During this period there are talk of 136 employees who extracted almost 14,000 quintals of hard coal. In 1860 the operation was stopped because larger coal seams had meanwhile been discovered on the Saar and Blies. The miners reached the tunnel via the “miners' path”, which is now part of the Tiefenbach path. On their way they passed the source in the Tiefenbachtal and filled up their drinking water here. This spring is still known today as the miner's well. Source: Text information board

If you walk through the Tiefenbach path completely, you will inevitably pass this fountain. It is up to you whether you want to try the water. In any case, the fountain is so lonely and deserted in a depression and is made accessible with a small wooden bridge. Just fits perfectly with the Tiefenbach path.
