legend
When Brun's brother Gebhard I von Querfurt was absent, his wife gave birth to ninelings. It was believed at the time that this meant she had slept with nine different men. So she asked her maid to drown eight of the nine children. When the maid was carrying the children to the pond in a cauldron, she met Brun on the way. When he found out the background, he took the children. He created a spring and baptized the children. After that he divided the children into different families. Years later, when it was obvious who the father of the children was, he informed his brother and his wife about the fate of the children.

So it is said in the year 1654 Under the village there is a beautiful vaulted fountain on the mountain, surrounded by stone benches, in which S. Bruno baptized the 8th children we had thought of; therefore it is also called the Brauns-Brunn and the mountain of the Braunsberg.
At that time there was already an edging around the fountain.
