    From this, in former times, the water for the steam locomotives was pumped, as it contains especially calcium. Even today, the water is often used for aquarium owners

    This fountain was built in 1856 and was used to supply the steam locomotives of the time with water with a low lime content.
    The water was then piped to the train station in Bamberg via a 4.5 km long pipeline system.
