Seven Springs (Sieben Quellen)

At this point I would like to quickly say something about the source
(whereby it corresponds to the art of poetry / if this 'source' is a 'fountain'):
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 – 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his wordplay and “another poem,” with a short quatrain:
"There's certainly a lot of beauty in it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can leave it alone."
(H.Erhardt)

The name Seffent goes back to the Roman "Septem Fontes" (seven sources)

Seffent is a small town with 200 inhabitants in the western Aachen district of Laurensberg.

The name is derived from the Latin Septem Fontes, meaning “Seven Springs,” now known as “Seven Springs.”[1] The springs rise from an enclosed spring pot and are the strongest springs within a 70 km radius. They feed the torrent that flows through the whole of Laurensberg and finally flows into the Wurm. Between 1929 and 1977, water from the “Seven Springs” was pumped using two centrifugal pumps to an elevated tank on the Wachtelkopf, which is part of the Schneeberg, which was able to supply Vaals and a large part of the textile companies there.

Not far from the springs is the historic Seffent Castle, which today houses a modern residential complex and a restaurant.

It is documented that in 896 the Lorraine King Zwentibold handed over the Carolingian manors of Seffent and Schurzelt, tributaries of the Aachen Palatinate, to his relative, the abbess Gisela of Nivelles, the daughter of King Lothair II of Lorraine. After Gisela's death, the farm fell back into imperial ownership and was later one of the allodial estates in the Aachen Empire, i.e. H. to the property of the Aachen city nobility.
