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.

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)
