Even before the first brine spring was discovered in the Sültewiesen on the Werre, the farmer Sültemeyer noticed an unusual, silvery crust on his pigs. In 1745 he was the first to come across the salty water in the Sültewiesen.

The pig fountain from 1981 stands for the discovery of salt by the pigs. It's a nice place to stay in the middle of the pedestrian zone of Bad Oeynhausen
