The Jungfernquelle feeds beside other sources the Unritzbach.
Quote from the website of the Heimatverein Grüna (district of Chemnitz)
gruena-online.de/index.php?article_id=412
GB has two explanations for this: "Once upon a time, the girls wanted to be pretty for their sweetheart, but they did not have cosmetics like today, so they went to the spring to wash themselves with clear, clean water drinking to get a clean, clean skin, if you asked, "Where are the maidens?", then it said: at the source.
There was also a nice tradition. Easter was always brought Easter water from this source. If you drank from it, you should stay fit throughout the year. This water was allowed to be brought only by virgins and silently. That's how the source got its name.
It also has one property, but that's best read at the source itself. "
