Türkenquelle

The spring emerges from a stone wall and forms a five-meter waterfall that flows into a small basin near Werdener Street in Essen.

The spring received its name during the 1960s when Turkish residents frequently gathered there to collect water for personal use.

This natural monument serves as an informal meeting point where local community members congregate to collect water from the natural source.

Two plastic tubes connected to the basin facilitate the collection of water, although the spring lacks official certification for drinking purposes.

The water source flows through a drainage pipe beneath the street before connecting directly to the Ruhr River downstream.
