Ebernburg

In the 14th century even the elevation to the city was planned. The old town center, the old village, which can still be seen in the cityscape, was surrounded by a wall ring with a connection to Ebernburg for centuries . Ebernburg has experienced a rapid expansion outside of this wall ring since the beginning of its spa activities at the end of the 19th century, which has not yet been completed. At the turn of the 20th century, the wall was laid down to the still visible foundation of a city tower.

The present form of the graduation tower for salt extraction in Bad Münster am Stein has been documented since 1729 . The weakly salty water of the brine spring was formerly carried by water wheels and is now conveyed to the graduation tower with electrically driven pumps. From there, countless water droplets trickle down the eight-meter-high blackthorn walls into a collecting basin, while the surrounding air is enriched with various salt components such as iodine, bromine and strontium ions as well as the noble gas radon. The salt gradient (proportion) of the brine is increased by the evaporation of the water while it trickles down into the collecting basins. The water wheels and some of the art (linkage for power transmission) can still be viewed.
