    water part box

    The last functioning part of the water supply system for the city of Heidelberg built in the Middle Ages, it still feeds 2 fountains in the courtyard of Palais Graimberg with mountain water. As early as the Middle Ages, 50 springs were tapped on the slope of the Königstuhl and their water was piped into the city. Sub-boxes like this one took care of the distribution of the water to public wells and private consumers. Source: ww2.heidelberg.de/stadtblatt-alt/stbl4200/stadtul.htm, as of: 23.7.22

      The last functional part box. It is located on the Burgweg of the water supply of the city of Heidelberg, which was created in the Middle Ages. Today he still feeds two fountains in the courtyard of Palais Graimberg with mountain water.
