Tips

Olaf Winter - Waldläufer

Bellmann's fountain was once built as a meeting place for larger companies. It is reminiscent of the bird catcher Georg Marcus Pöllmann, who was bitten on 31 August 1866 near this fountain by a common viper and died of it. Over time, however, the name Pöllmann changed in Bellmann due to the local dialect.
For decades, the fountain has been one of the most important destinations in Zwickau's city forest right up to the present day.

In 1901, the Erzgebirge branch association in Zwickau began designing the area around the Bellmann fountain. The area was planted with oak trees and the Bellmann hut was built thanks to donations from a member. The place was planned for gatherings of larger groups. The first approved celebrations took place in 1909. In 1930, the grounds were redesigned according to plans by the landscape architect Paul Lorenz. The inspiration for this came from the local Erzgebirge branch association, which celebrated its 50th anniversary in the same year. A memorial stone erected on this occasion still commemorates this today. In the 1970s, the complex was given its current appearance. The elaborate path with wooden bridges, walkways and steps was replaced by a simple staircase that leads from the square down to the spring.
