The Stifterbrünndl from Rott am Inn: Count von Rott and his son, who died early, have their final resting place in the then new church of the Rott am Inn monastery. Countess Uta outlived husband and son for a long time. In deep mourning for her loved ones, she spent her widowhood in the castle near the monastery. She descended daily to take part in the vigils, the early morning services held by the monks with prayer and song. The chronicler of the monastery at the time of Countess Uta, the monk Father Daniel Molitor, reports that the high lady was once held up in the castle a little longer than the church bells were already announcing the beginning of the service. The Countess rushed to the window and called down: "Wait, I'll be right back!" And full of impatience she threw out one of her gloves being brought, which instructed him not to begin the pious ceremony, but to wait for the lady of the castle to arrive. At the point where the glove came to rest, a spring gushed out, which was then called the "Stifterbrünndl".
