Popperöder Brunnenhaus, Water well building in Mühlhausen, Germany
The Popperöder Brunnenhaus stands as a two-story structure with a stone ground floor featuring three arches and a timber-framed upper level adorned with decorative crosses.
Built in 1614 by Mayor Gregor Fleischhauer, the building encompasses a spring that emerged in 1199 following an earthquake that created a natural sinkhole.
The annual fountain festival in June features children carrying flowers to the spring, continuing a tradition documented since 1605 to express gratitude for water.
The spring supplies 3,500 cubic meters of drinking water daily, with temperatures ranging from 11 to 16 degrees Celsius, containing minerals like calcium and sulfate.
The building incorporates amphitheater-style semicircular seating arrangements around the water source, with a balcony designed for public addresses to gathering crowds.
