The 20-tube fountain is a well in the Rhineland-Palatinate local community Altleiningen in the northeastern Palatinate Forest. The well was probably built around the year 1600 and originally served the water supply of the castle located above Altleiningen. It received its present form in 1855.

The well is fed by the strongest fissure spring in the Palatinate. The water emerges from a fault crevice and is first captured in two large well chambers and then gushes out of 20 parallel pipes. The amount of water flow is controlled with a system of damming the groundwater that was very well thought out for the time it was created.

Above the fountain there is a listed sandstone inscription from 1855, when the complex was given its present form; it was reinstalled in the 1980s after a major renovation with partial redesign. The board shows an imaginary dialogue between hiker (W) and fountain (B):

See, Wanderer:
God's fountain has water in abundance!

W .: Yes, little fountain, you have water to fill;
Give everyone a drink who wants to.
B: The rich God gave it to me;
Follow me and you will live like this!
W .: But what is left for me in the end?
B .: A water that will delight you forever.
history

The well was built on behalf of the Counts of Leiningen in order to improve the water supply of their ancestral castle Altleiningen and ensure it in the long term. Evidence for the exact year of construction is not known, historians assume the time around 1600. [2]

Interesting fountain design - a sign at the top of the street indicates the highlight that could otherwise easily be overlooked.
