Luitpoldsprudel
The Luitpoldsprudel is a well for healing water in Großenbrach , a district of the Bavarian spa town Bad Bocklet in the Lower Franconian district of Bad Kissingen .
The drilling well, which was brought down in 1906/08 and named after Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria , is one of the architectural monuments in Bad Bocklet and is registered in the Bavarian list of monuments under the number D-6-72-112-1 .
history
Luitpoldsprudel "old"
The well drilling took place from 1906 to 1908; the turbine-driven pumping station was built in 1912. In 1913 the system was named after Prince Regent Luitpold of Bavaria , who died in December 1912 .
The Luitpoldsprudel promotes a "carbonated sodium-calcium-chloride-bicarbonate-sulfate-water" (according to the old nomenclature: "iron-containing sodium-calcium-chloride-bicarbonate-sulfate-sourling").
After the weir system in the neighboring town of Kleinbrach (now part of Bad Kissingen ) , which was built independently of the Luitpoldsprudel and, among other things, was used to drive the Schönbornsprudel located in Hausen (now also part of Bad Kissingen) , it supplied the water energy for the pumping station of the Luitpoldsprudel . By installing a turbine (possibly a Kaplan turbine ) in the Kleinbrach weir system, the Luitpoldsprudel received a power supply for its pumps in 1912.
When in the mid-1980s, due to the risk of flooding at the site of the Großenbracher Luitpoldsprudel, a new borehole became necessary in the district of the neighboring town of Kleinbrach , a district of Bad Kissingen , the Großenbrach well system was given the name Luitpoldsprudel old to distinguish it , while the new borehole in the Kleinbrach area was called Luitpoldsprudel has been.
Since Bad Bocklet had to have two independent springs in order to be recognized as a spa, but only had the steel spring Balthasar-Neumann-Brunnen , the Luitpoldsprudel , which was previously only used by Bad Kissingen, should also be made accessible for Bad Bocklet. In this context, the fountain tower was moved to its current position, which is further east compared to the original location, on parcel No. 221 of the Großenbrach district on a loop of the river of the Franconian Saale extending to the east and converted into a fountain museum. The well itself was re-drilled between 1997 and 1999.
Luitpoldsprudel "new"
Since the location of the spring was threatened by flooding, a new borehole, the new Luitpoldsprudel , was carried out in 1986 on parcel 136/1 in the Kleinbrach district . The position of this newly drilled well is about 160 meters south of the loop of the river Franconian Saale , which stretches to the east, near the Dionysus monastery in Kleinbrach . Despite the geographical proximity, the old Luitpoldsprudel and the new Luitpoldsprudel produced water are not identical; the new water from the Luitpoldsprudel is an "iron-containing carbonic acid-sodium-calcium-chloride-bicarbonate-sulfate-water" (according to the old nomenclature: "sodium-calcium-chloride-bicarbonate-sulfate-acid").
