The Art Nouveau fountain dates back to 1913. According to the Denkmalliste, it is not known who designed it.

Both the fountain and the staircase were made of in-situ concrete with artificial stone. The name of the well goes back to "Hag" or "Hedge".

In 1897, a Roman bath was discovered in the Stuttgarter Straße, near the old post office building, at a depth of three meters. The ground was formed by flat brick bricks, the water supply was apparently carried out by means of a tin pipe which entered the basin from the direction of the present Högbrunnen, and the Hypocaustum was still visible. The complex apparently belonged to a villa rustica, which was located right next to the Römerstraße. The water of the spring, which was derived from the Keupersandstein, was almost lime-free and therefore very suitable for bathing. A few years after the discovery of the Roman baths, however, it had been destroyed.

A villa rustica, found on the lower Stuttgarter Straße, drew its water from a spring above the Birkenwäldle, which still supplied water until the time before the Second World War, but has now dried up.

The Högenbrünnelele, which was renovated in 1983, is therefore connected to the public water network and thus supplies drinking water. It is open daily from 8:30 am to 10 pm during the fountain season. Single-level Edit source text
