Adelheidis-Brunnen, Pilgrimage water well in Beuel, Germany
The Adelheidis-Brunnen features a square basin three meters deep with a baroque casing and spring chamber located at Adelheidisplatz.
In 1003, Abbess Adelaide of Vilich monastery created this water source by striking her staff into the ground during a drought relief procession.
The fountain water contains alum and draws pilgrims who wash their eyes with it, following a tradition of seeking treatment for vision problems.
The well remains accessible throughout the year, with the main pilgrimage celebrations occurring during the September octave near the Nativity of Mary.
The site's presence led to the development of Pützchens Markt, which evolved into one of the largest folk festivals in the Rhineland region.
