A beautiful old fountain house that was central to Heilbronn's former drinking water supply.

"The Cecilia Fountain is a listed fountain. From the fountain house, once located outside the city walls, a water pipe ran into the city from 1588 onwards, supplying six public fountains, around 30 cisterns, and several private wells. Until the construction of the Heilbronn Waterworks, the Cecilia Fountain pipeline was the most important facility in Heilbronn's municipal water supply."

The Cäcilienbrunnen is a listed fountain in the Cäcilienbrunnenstraße in Heilbronn.
Access is locked, and that's a good thing, otherwise you'll soon find a rubbish dump there again.
I was surprised and also happy that he hasn't become a victim of graffiti sprayers so far.
A photo comes from the waterworks in Heilbronn, Salzstraße 131, the waterworks were opened in 1875, a beautiful brick building.

Here, you can take a comfortable break, I came down from the Ludwigschanze, and what do I see, this fountain, it seemed to me like a small park with benches and shady places, in the center of this fountain, from which water is still running, me as a native of Heilbronn I didn't know anything about the fountain, I just hope I was able to set the pin correctly, the GPS signal was very bad, yes, there is still a lot to discover, I nominate it as a highlight, thank you very much.
