At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his pun and “Noch'n Gedicht”, with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly a lot of beautiful about it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it alone. "
(H.Erhardt)

The water of the Wespel spring comes from the Middle Devonian limestone and sand-lime stones of the Hondert-Mulde. The groundwater accumulates on the clay and silt stones of the Lower Devonian north of the source and then emerges at the surface of the terrain.

The spring is located in the water protection area of the district of Euskirchen. According to a stone plaque in the suburbs, the spring was probably tapped in 1962.
