    Spring in Altwachwitz.

    "Here at the Wachwitz spring, elephants from the Sarrasani Circus drank in 1916. Since horses and tractors were needed for the First World War, the circus elephants, wearing leather overshoes, had to transport cabbage, turnips, and potatoes as food rations to Wachwitz in wagons."

    In 1917 an elephant from the circus Sarrasani Brunnenwasser drank here in Wachwitz. Since horses and tractors had moved in during the First World War, he had to bring beets and potatoes as food rations to Wachwitz with leather overshoes on their feet in furniture vans.
