"Sauerbrunnen | Montabaur

Der Löwenkopf des Brunnens deutet auf die ursprüngliche Funktion des Ortes als Gerichtsplatz hin. Das Wasser aus dem Brunnen ist Trinkwasser und schmeckt tatsächlich sauer, denn es hat einen sehr hohen Gehalt an Kohlensäure (über 2.000 mg/l) und Eisen. Deshalb wird ihm eine gesundheitsfördernde Wirkung bei vielerlei Krankheiten zugeschrieben."

EN (Translation):
Sauerbrunnen | Montabaur

The lion's head of the fountain points to the original function of the place as a court place. The water from the well is drinking water and tastes actually sour, because it has a very high content of carbon dioxide (over 2,000 mg/l) and iron. That is why a health-promoting effect is ascribed to it with various illnesses.
