The cress pond spring is Hesse’s strongest spring with an average discharge of 290 liters per second. As a so-called karst spring, it rises at the boundary between the Upper Buntsandstein and Lower Muschelkalk layers. The spring has been supplying the region with drinking water since it was set up in 1938. Operated by EAM Netz GmbH, around 250,000 cubic meters of drinking water are distributed to the surrounding towns from here every year.
