According to legend, the St. Leonhard's spring was rediscovered by Christoph Riel in 1734 after Saint Leonhard appeared to him in a dream. Since then, three further deep sources have been developed in the same source area: In 1999 the moon source, 2003 the light source and the sun source. In 2006, another location in Ruhpolding in Chiemgau was put into operation. Two springs arise at this second source: the St. Georgsquelle - this water contains no iron - and a natural brine spring containing iodine.
The St. Leonhardsquelle has been owned by the Abfalter family since 1996.
