The name “holy” is derived from “hill”, “Pütz” is the name for a spring.
The source drains into the Thumbach, also called Heiligenbach. The spring basin together with the Drover-Berg-Tunnel is a nationally important soil monument of the municipality of Kreuzau-Drove. The Romans took hold of the spring and raised the edge, which is still clearly visible today. From here the water was led through the tunnel to a Roman villa rustica near Soller.
