    From this, in former times, the water for the steam locomotives was pumped, as it contains especially calcium. Even today, the water is often used for aquarium owners

    It was built in 1856. From here the Bamberg train station and thus the steam locomotives of the time were supplied with water that was poor in lime. Limescale deposits in the boiler represented a high risk potential for the steam boiler.
    The water was slid from here in an approx. 4.5 km long pipeline system to the train station in Bamberg.

    Steam locomotives used to be filled with water here. Interesting story.
