Undine Spring Wittenburg.

Since June 2008, the town of Wittenburg has been a member of the "Legends and Fairy Tale Route" association.

Like all other member towns, Wittenburg also has its own original fairy tale character: the legendary Undine at her enchanted spring.

On the wall in Wittenburg, near the Bürgerpark, a small stream babbles peacefully: the Undine Spring.

According to legend, a fairy named Undine once promised a man eternal happiness in love if he sworn fidelity to her. The man kept the promise and pledged his loyalty. Later, however, he married another woman, and Undine punished him with death. But his death brought Undine no satisfaction; quite the opposite. Even though she was deeply unhappy about what had happened, she transformed herself into a spring on the man's grave after the funeral. In this form, she still embraces her beloved with loving arms.

As part of the association's membership in the "Legends and Fairytale Route," a life-size wooden statue of Undine was placed at the spring in 2010. It had been crafted in just two days in front of the town's historic town hall.

The spring is even bubbling a little at the moment.
