The Kindlesbrunnen (Children's Fountain) is located in the Köchinbrunn area, which indicates a spring. The name Kindlesbrunnen derives from the fact that storks used to fetch children from this spring and deliver them to their families.

A beautiful, secluded stream, completely natural. A memorial stone commemorating (presumably forced) labor under adverse conditions.
