Surname
The name Mergbach can already be read on cards from 1895. After that it was often referred to as Gersprenz, which is why its source was also named Gersprenz-Quelle. In 2013 it was briefly renamed Mergbach-Quelle again. However, this was already revised in the following year; the source is now again signposted as Gersprenzquelle .
