The hilltop, now called the "Worship Meadow," has been a leveled assembly area since Germanic times, adjacent to the sacred spring of the Holy Well. It is the westernmost and, at approximately 81 meters, one of the highest hilltops in the area. Back then, its treeless location offered an unobstructed view of the Rhine plain and the burial mound field located there, now built over. This clear view across the thousands of burial mounds towards the setting sun must have been phenomenal and of cultic significance. It is likely that, as elsewhere, a circle of wooden posts was placed here to mark the solstices and other astronomically important dates for cultic and agricultural purposes. Unfortunately, no excavations have yet been carried out to confirm this. The site was probably in continuous use, as the Roman temple of Elfrath was oriented towards this location, and baptismal ceremonies held there are documented from early Christian times. Even today, the area is used for open-air worship services.

The "holy spring" is a spring in Duisburg's city forest, south of the intersection of Rundweg and Kammerweg. The spring (also called "Marienquelle"), first mentioned in a city account in 1563 on the "hillgen bornschen Berg" (hilly born mountain), was once attributed with healing powers. The origins of this belief in the water's supposed healing powers remain unclear. In reality, the spring water, which seeps through the gravel and sand of the city forest and emerges above the impermeable clay layers, has no such effect (it is not drinking water). In 1935, the spring and its surroundings were lined with stones. Coal mining was carried out here as early as 1562, but without success. The tunnels were said to have been up to 45 meters deep.

Great area.....I'll be back

A train rattles along the railway line every few minutes, and often several at once. A feast for children and train spotters, and a change of pace for hikers who have to cross the noisy Expo Bridge next door.
