The water from the Prinzenquelle has supplied the city of Kassel with fresh drinking water for many centuries. At the end of the 19th century, the headwaters of the Nieste were shot. As a result, the so-called prince water pipe fell into oblivion.

The name "Prince's Spring" probably comes from the use of the "Prince's Water" in the buildings of the sovereigns. However, it is also said that the young princes stopped here after hunting to water their horses.

Here you can tread water in the summer, that's fun in the fresh water.
