The word "Born" is the historical designation for a well or spring. These sources have their origin in the volcanic activity around Amöneburg. The internal structure of the Vogelsberg essentially consists of an alternation of rock units (basalt and tuff), which primarily influence the groundwater and seepage water of the region.

At Stockborn there is an underground, more than 600-year-old brick cavern, in which the water from the surrounding springs is collected and drawn with a hand pump.

However, you won't find a fountain here, it's "only" an information sign.
