        Location and history: The Jakobsbrünnele is located a little south of the Försterbrunnen fountain, also near the Lützelbachtalweg, in the southeastern part of the Mittlerer Schurwald between Reichenbach and Baltmannsweiler.
        The origin of the name is unknown. Whether the Jakobsbrünnele got its name from a person from the Schurwald area or from the biblical figure Jacob, also called Israel, son of Isaac and grandson of Abraham, who, according to the Book of Genesis in the Bible, was the third of the patriarchs of the Israelites.
        It is most likely that the name for the Jakobsbrünnele comes from James the Elder, a figure in the New Testament. He is one of the twelve apostles of Jesus Christ and one of the most famous saints in the world. Many Jacob's Wells were named after him, and the most famous is certainly the pilgrimage route, the Way of St. James, which is named after him.
