Julian fountain
The Julianenbrunnen , also popularly known as the Giljebrunne , is a 400-year-old fountain in the Guntersblumer Kellerweg in the Guntersblum municipality in Rhine-Hesse . The building is now a cultural monument.
history
The fountain was first officially documented in 1608. At this time the fountain was renovated and the year was chiseled a little above the fountain.
The construction of today's Julianenbrunnen probably took place after the lease of a vineyard near the Guntersblumer Kellerweg by the barons of Dalberg . The Julian fountain should have belonged to the Guntersblum Julian Chapel, which was mentioned in the Worms synod as early as 1496 .
From 1701 there is reports of a fountain near today's Guntersblum Evangelical Church. It seems to have been Guntersblum's only village well up to this point. In the 19th century, a water basin was built in front of the Julian fountain in which the housewives washed their laundry.
When the public water supply in Guntersblum was established at the beginning of the 20th century , the Julianenbrunnen lost its importance as a drinking water dispenser. Its water was used to calibrate the wine barrels. In 1900 a new squirrel house was built. The water flowed from the Julianenbrunnen into a pond on the corner of Julianen- and Götzenstraße. The pond served as a horse pond and extinguishing water pond until the 1920s . When, due to factory-calibrated stainless steel and plastic tanks, there was no longer any need for calibration at the well, there was no longer any need to protect the main water flow from the north-west. The water was dug up by construction work, the Julianenbrunnen dried up in 1972. The squirrel house was demolished in 1974.
Today you can operate the Julianenbrunnen with a water pump .
