The Herzogsborn in Hanover in today's Ahlem district is a non-preserved fountain that was fed by three springs and whose history may go back to the Middle Ages. Today a street name reminds of the fountain.

history

In the place mentioned for the first time in 1256 as "Alem", the man-made well, which took the water from three springs, possibly caused the village of Ahlem to emerge at this point. Centuries later, the sovereign , Duke Ernst August zu Braunschweig and Lüneburg , had the fountain protected in 1691: He appreciated the natural spring water as drinking water for his court at the Great Garden in Herrenhausen .

After the landscape around the well for a long time with the field name "Sources reason " had been referred to the rose bush path has been created today's street and initially named "Am Quellengrund" in 1974 west. But already in the following year 1975 the street was renamed in memory of the Duke and the protection of the old fountain by him.
