Thermalbrunnen Burtscheid
Thermalbrunnen Burtscheid, Thermal fountain in Burtscheid district, Aachen, Germany.
The ceramic fountain delivers natural thermal water from underground springs reaching temperatures of 74 degrees Celsius, making it among the warmest in Central Europe.
Romans discovered these thermal springs in the first century CE, with archaeological evidence from 1957 revealing a dedication stone from a Roman officer named Lucius Latinius.
The fountain connects to a network of springs that extends through multiple medical facilities, supporting regional thermal therapy and rehabilitation practices.
Visitors can access fresh thermal water directly from the fountain located at the beginning of the pedestrian zone in Burtscheid market square.
The water emerges from depths of 3,000 meters after a 10,000-year journey through underground limestone formations of the Frasnes period.
