The name "Zietsch Fountain" is intended to commemorate the former Bavarian Finance Minister Friedrich Zietsch, who was deeply committed to Bad Steben after World War II. Anyone can tap the healing water here free of charge. Those wishing to drink one of the two different types of water should bring a glass or bottle. The medicinal benefits of each are described.
