In Hölzlashof this Marian monument stands at a nice rest bench, next to it is a small fountain. A memorial stone from 2015 commemorates the anniversary "850 years of Hölzlashhof".

Around the fountain and the material there are dilapidated and well-renovated old houses. Charming village center.

What is taken for granted today was a major problem 100 years ago. The small village of Hölzlashof in the Fichtel Mountains quickly gained control of its water supply by tapping its springs.
The first documented mention of Hölzlashof can be found in the Reichenbach Monastery's tradition codex from 1165. An entry in this book, "predium, quod cicitur Hezelisruth," attests that around 1165, the son of the Nordgau Margrave Diepold III, the young Diepold (Theobaldus junior marchio), donated an estate (predium) to Reichenbach Monastery, called Hezelisruht.
Therefore, the people of Hölzlashof celebrated the 850th anniversary on June 14, 2015. Visitors can still see some granite witnesses to the water supply for themselves today. In Hölzlashof, there were once three wells, initially serving to supply water to the local population and livestock. Unfortunately, due to the expansion of the water supply, not all of them exist or are no longer in service. Only the village well at the wayside shrine still exists today and supplies fresh water from a spring located above the village. The inlet was redesigned by Gerhard Plannerer in 2017.
In the past, "Biener Frieda" cleaned the well. She also tended and swept the street, and the boys enjoyed deliberately scattering straw and leaves around the well. For several years, the Käs family has ensured that the village well at the wayside shrine is kept clean. During Easter, Christine and Josef Käs decorate it with Easter decorations.
According to legend, the wells were also used as watering holes for livestock, and the water was bottled. The field workers needed something to drink. For centuries, the main connecting route between Ebnath and Neusorg led through Hölzlashof and past the wells. Here, both people and animals could refresh themselves in the cool water. In addition to the main well, which still exists today, there was another well at the "Peter House" (Schraml) for the "lower village" and a well at the Ritter estate ("Zeisl") for the "upper village."
According to an excerpt from the shoemaker's chronicle, the Hölzlashof water was already used for beer production more than 100 years ago.
