The Schönbornsprudel is first mentioned in a document in 1578. The efforts of Prince Bishop Friedrich Karl von Schönborn in 1655, caused by the Thirty Years' War revive standstill has come salt production in Hausen, also benefited the Schönborn bubble ; in that year the associated Schönborn tower was built .

On June 6, 1764, Prince-Bishop Adam Friedrich von Seinsheim began to drive down the Schönbornsprudels , which Seinsheim had named after his uncle, Friedrich Karl von Schönborn-Buchheim , out of pride in his family membership . By September 15, 1764, the depth was 50.5 feet ; on December 12th of that year, the Schönbornsprudel could deliver more than 10,500 quintals of salt per year.

The Schönbornsprudel was driven by the water of a weir system in the neighboring village of Kleinbrach ; the water flowed through a canal that was popularly called Gefluder . The several kilometers long Gefluder was built in the 18th century and was destroyed by heavy ice in 1946 and then scrapped. In 1846 an attempt was made in Kleinbrach to route the canal through a ridge to shorten the route to be covered, but in the middle of the construction work on the necessary tunnel, the project failed due to financial problems; the Kleinbracher Echo emerged .

In 1831, master drill Christian Wachtel started an attempt to drill deeper into the Schönbornsprudels , which failed in 1854. Christian Wachtel recorded the progress of the work in two notebooks. Since you could not turn the drill pipe, as it is nowadays, but only push it, the daily drilling capacity was only eight centimeters. After each impact, the drill pipe was pulled up while simultaneously being dismantled into its individual parts in order to empty the earth collecting container at the end of the rod; the rods had to be reassembled for each subsequent joint. After a depth of 362 meters in 1846 and 490.50 meters in 1848, a depth of 584.22 meters was finally reached (in 1854), at which the drill pipe finally broke.

In May 1963 the Schönborn tower was torn down after the Schönborn spring had dried up the previous winter . In 1982 a fountain pavilion was built on the current thoroughfare of Hausen, a few meters from the position of the old Schönborn Tower. The pavilion houses the sculpture "Rugged spherical shape" of the Wernecker district Vasbühl born sculptor Max Walter.

Around 1970 the Schönborn spring with the Schönborn tower and the scrapped water wheel in 1953 were captured by two Bad Kissingen artists in stylistically different paintings. The picture made by Heini Ross in 1969 was acquired by the owner of the "Café Kaiser" to decorate her café. The portrait painted by Hinz Kistler was commissioned by the municipality of Hausen on the occasion of the appointment of Mayor Josef Müller as an honorary citizen.

In 2004, the water management authority built a machine station for the electronics of the pumping system. In 2009, plastic-coated pipes were tested for the first time, which should reduce the build-up of iron ocher .

In 2010, boreholes were again carried out for a new version of the Schönbornsprudels , as this again brought brine to the surface. In addition, the water pipes between Schönbornsprudel and KissSalis Therme were renewed between 2010 and 2012 .
