The “Deep Well” was built around 1730. The well is still about 12 meters deep. It is now dry.

It used to be used to supply water to the higher Ummenstaller Hof, also known as the “Alter Hof”. The farm complex was first mentioned in documents in 1223 and at that time belonged to the Neustadt (Main) monastery. In 1329 it was sold to the Himmelspforten monastery.

In the course of secularization it came into private ownership in 1805. The farm complex was inhabited until 1900. Nothing can be seen of the farms today.

The fountain used to be used to supply the Ummenstaller Höfe, but they no longer exist.
