Wolfsbrunnen, Water well and cultural monument in Heidelberg, Germany.
The Wolfsbrunnen features a natural spring system surrounded by meadows and forests on the eastern slopes of Heidelberg.
Built around 1550 during the reign of Prince Friedrich II, the well structure includes a castle hotel that served as a gathering place.
Local folklore connects the well to a tale of a she-wolf attacking a sorceress named Jette, giving the location its name.
The site maintains a restaurant with a beer garden, providing German cuisine while visitors explore the historical water source.
The water source supports various amphibian populations, creating a natural habitat within the urban environment of Heidelberg.
