Due to its high iron content, steel fountain is effective in treating anemia and regulating blood pressure. It also has a tonic effect, meaning it improves well-being and vitality, making it a strengthening and fortifying remedy.

The Ludwigsbrunnen (Ludwig's Fountain) is the oldest fountain in the spa gardens of Bad Homburg vor der Höhe.
It is a protected cultural monument.
In 1809, two children playing by the Kirdorf stream discovered this healing spring and sampled the sour, yet refreshingly tasting water.
The spring was enclosed as a fountain in 1809/10 at the instigation of Landgrave Friedrich V Ludwig and initially called the Upper or Salt Fountain. In 1835, it was renamed Ludwigsbrunnen in his honor.
At that time, the fountain was surrounded by a double ring of Italian poplar trees.
