Baptisms today would be a dusty affair… there was no water

Great way to get there. First you see the baptismal font and then the Bonifatiusborn. Boniface is said to have baptized there many years ago.

On the summit region of the baptismal font, a few meters south-east of the Bismarck Tower, is the Bonifatiusborn (also known as the Bonifatiusbrunnen). According to legend, Bonifatius, the "Apostle of the Germans", preached here. The fountain has no source, only a stone border.
