Glassblowers' Fountain in Heinrichsthal

anecdote
Habichsthal, Heinrichsthal, Jakobsthal
It was a long time ago that a glassmaker and his three sons settled deep in the Spessart. They built a larger log house, felled the trees in a wide area, cleared the soil and, in addition to glassmaking, also diligently cultivated the fields. For years they lived together with their families in peace and harmony, until at last there was quarrel and discord among the sons. This worried the father and he had no choice but to separate his sons. But he wanted them close by, so he built a hut in each of the neighboring valleys. Then the lot was to decide which of the three huts the sons received. The furthest hut, which stood in a friendly valley, was raffled first and went to the youngest son. As he pulled out the ticket, he quickly asked his brothers: "Do I have it?" These words carried over to the new settlement and so the resulting village was called "Habichsthal". The hut that had previously been inhabited together fell to the eldest son, after whom it was named "Heinrichsthal", and that is why the village in question is also called that. The son Jakob moved into the hut in the third valley, and this new settlement was named "Jakobsthal" after him. The glassworks in the three villages gradually closed due to a lack of wood and the relatively numerous inhabitants struggled with the meager soil for their daily bread, until the modern times gave them even more income.
