Hiking
The Kesselbrunnen is located between Rottenburg and Remmingsheim, above or at the entrance to the Weggental. Even in the historical description of the Oberamt Rottenburg, it is expressly mentioned as one of the more significant springs in the area.
During investigations in the Gewann „Auf der Burg“ at the Kesselbrunnen, the remains of a Roman Villa rustica were discovered as early as the 19th century. A main building and an outbuilding were uncovered and measured.
This means: The area around the Kesselbrunnen was already settled or agriculturally used in Roman times. The spring certainly played an important role.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source
(even if it corresponds to the art of poetry / that this 'source' is a 'fountain'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his pun and “Noch'n Gedicht”, with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly a lot of beautiful about it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it alone. "
(H.Erhardt)
