The forester's house in Geney used to have no water supply of its own. Therefore the foresters used this source for their supplies. The water was transported on a cart pulled by a donkey. Hence the name "Eselsquelle".

This spring served as a source of drinking water for the Reifenstein Monastery and forestry. The water was transported with donkey carts.
The fish ponds there are still fed by the spring.
