Guided Story

Imagine standing at a site created nearly a century ago to supply water to the city. Look to your left, and you'll spot the Schwienbrücke, offering a picturesque contrast to the Maschseequelle. Built in 1935, this fountain is more than just an engineering feat. It was originally part of a grand vision to turn the Maschsee into a recreational haven. Behind you, a charming flower meadow completes the scene. During the Maschseefest, the facility springs back to life, reminding us of a time when water was pumped by hand. Listen to the gentle murmur and imagine the stories the water here could tell.
