    At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source
    (whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'well'):
    To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his word jokes and "Noch'n poem", with a short quatrain:
    "There is certainly much beauty in
    on the element, the wet.
    Because you can drink the water.
    But you can - also leave it."

    Here in the Bienwald forest, where the Schaidt-Lauterburg road crosses the Aschbach stream, a draw well has stood since ancient times: the Hirschbrunnen (Deer Well). It was fitted with a roof in 1912. The well was essential for watering teams of oxen and horses along what was then an important thoroughfare. Today, it is furnished with benches and a tabletop made from a section of the nearly 300-year-old Aschbach oak tree and serves as a rest area.
