Roman fountain (Bad Vilbel)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Roman fountain renovated in 2007

The Roman fountain is located in Bad Vilbel , Hesse and was drilled by the Vilbel carbon dioxide works between 1929 and 1930. The fountain was initially named "Friedrich-Karl-Sprudel" after Landgrave Friedrich Karl von Hessen . The entire spring system, which is now owned by Hassia Mineralquellen , was completely renovated in 2007. A renovation followed in 2012.

A borehole opened up a mineral water at a depth of 287 meters which, due to its high carbonic acid content, bubbles out on its own. With a total mineralization of almost 5,000 mg / l, the Bad Vilbeler Römerbrunnen is one of the most mineral-rich springs in all of Germany and, with an annual pouring of 220,000 m³, is Bad Vilbel's most abundant spring deposit.

In 1955 the deposit was recognized by the state as a "non-profit source" and was subsequently used in spa treatments in the Bad Vilbeler Kurhaus. Today the spring bears the name "Römerbrunnen" and is also available under this name as a bottled medicinal water .
