Mother of God fountain
The Mother of God fountain forms the center of the pilgrimage site. An old baptismal font - dated 1678 - has served as a border for the spring since the 1930s. Some believers ascribe a healing effect to the water, they regard it as "eye water". Some pilgrims therefore wet their faces with the water from the well.

Please note: the water from the well is not drinking water!

The fountain is said to be healing spring water that is said to help the eyes.
A warning says that it is not tested drinking water. Of course I had to try anyway - but it doesn't taste divine at all. So better really just heal the eyes. ;-)

The Mother of God Fountain is located just outside Kleinenberg. It is located below the Kleinenberg cemetery. Whether the water has healing properties is up to each individual to decide.
