The Sophienquelle is one of the largest baroque spring versions north of the Alps and was built according to the Italian model between 1724 and 1726. The Nuremberg patrician Johann Paul III. Paumgartner commissioned in 1720 and built it as part of a "sentimental landscape garden in honor of his wife Sophia-Maria Nutzel-Paumgartner-Haller von Sündersbühl". After the death of her husband, Sophie, as widow and heir of the entire Paumgartner estate, had the source completed in 1726. In 1860 and 1979 the entire facility was renovated. It has been a natural monument since 1937. Its structure resembles an amphitheater, the filling is 4 liters per second.
