In the landscape of the Styrian volcanic land in the eastern Styrian hill country, water seeps through porous rock into the depths. The water is enriched with natural carbon dioxide. At the same time, the water dissolves sodium, calcium, magnesium, potassium and other ions from the rock. The natural mineral water comes to the surface as an artesian spring in Hof bei Straden.
In 1678 the Brunn zur Stradn was mentioned on a map . The physician and botanist Heinrich Johann Nepomuk von Crantz (1722–1797) described the water of the healing spring in 1777. In 1819 the tenant Johanna Reybauer received permission from Archduke Johann of Austria to call the healing water previously called Hofer Sauerbrunn Johannisbrunnen . In 1834 Matthias Constantin Capello von Wickenburg bought the mineral spring and subsequently founded the Gleichenberger und Johannisbrunnen Actienverein , which acquired the Johannisbrunnen healing water and connected it to the spa town of Bad Gleichenberg . It was initially bottled in clay pots and around 1840 sales were switched to glass bottles. In 2005 the stock corporation was dissolved and the medicinal water production was continued by a sole proprietorship.
Since 2006, the bottling plant in Hof bei Straden has housed two museums, the Johannisbrunnen medicinal water museum and a wedding museum with exhibits from 1750.
Drinking cure
The Johannisbrunnen medicinal water has a significantly higher mineral content than drinking water , which is why the intake of 1 to 1.5 liters per day for six to eight weeks is considered sufficient, not too cold, distributed over the day to support the overall regulatory process in the body to reach.
