Bergneustadt-Wiedenest

Holy well

Coordinates: 51 ° 01'15 "North 07 ° 40'48" East Oberbergischer Kreis

Gummersbach

Directions: approx. 50km east of Cologne on the B56 Bergneustadt, at the entrance to Wiedenest zur

Turn into the Bible School (Martin-Luther-Str.) And park there. The source is about 50m

behind the church across from the old schoolhouse.

A crusader is said to have left a splinter of the Holy Cross of Christ in the church.

From then on, a reliquary cult emerged, which led to the church from the 15th century

was also consecrated to the Holy Cross.

The one above the church is a spring that is said to have healing properties. To

today the spring gushes, which was important in Celtic times.

Despite the notice “No drinking water” attached to the fountain, people fetch themselves from

near and far the fresh spring water.

de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelische_Kreuzkirche_(Wiedenest)

It is mentioned in the first section, the holy spring at the Protestant Kreuzkirche in Wiedenest.

When we went on vacation here in the Bergisches Land for the first time, we were told about the holy spring. When we drove there, people were lining up with bottles and canisters. Students told us they made their coffee with this water and have not gotten sick since then. One man even came with a station wagon full of canisters, he used this water for everything. As we were told and as can be read on Wikipedia, the source has never dried up since the 15th century. Now, however, it has happened, one church worker explained to us sadly.

Very nice, the lake, and the dam wall offers great views.
