Current addition: Currently (30.5.2020 closed due to corona ordinance)
The water here at the Eibach graduation tower has been bubbling up since a borehole was drilled in 1933. The Eibach spring was recognized as a state healing spring in 1964.
In order to upgrade the source again, construction work on the graduation tower began in 2003. The population of Eibach did a large part of the work on this construction on a voluntary basis. In August 2004, the graduation tower was put into operation.
Due to the special construction of a graduation house, the air inside the graduation house becomes very clean and healthy thanks to the trickling medicinal water. You notice that immediately when you take a deep breath in the graduation tower. In order to distribute the trickling water as well as possible, the walls are stuffed with blackthorn rips, where the water can then trickle down (Source: outdooractive.com/de/quelle/lahntal/gradierwerk-eibach/10616590/)

The real discoverers were the Eibacher sheep. They drank this from the source even then - and it helped. They are still there ;)
