The actual source, called the Siegfrieds source, is not located at the source socket at the foot of the Felsenmeer, but higher up, at the height of the giant column on the so-called "Kleiner Felsenmeer".The source is named after the hero Siegfried from the Nibelungenlied. However, it is not clear why this spring was named after him. As with the many Siegfrieds fountains in the region, one can only speculate whether this is the place where Hagen's famous murder of the hero Siegfried was committed.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his pun and “Noch'n Gedicht”, with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly a lot of beautiful about it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it alone. "
(H.Erhardt)
