Wiesbadenâs historic Carl-von-Jbell Spring closes permanently after vandalism
Wiesbaden's Carl-von-Jbell Spring has been shut down, with residents to be officially informed on November 17. The spring will not reopen due to recent damage and financial constraints.
The shutdown was necessitated by repeated vandalism that caused severe damage to the fountain. Additionally, repairs were deemed no longer financially viable. The surrounding area had also become increasingly littered and polluted.
While the Carl-von-Jbell Spring will not be reactivated, the city's two other public springs, the Rettertbrunnen and the Goldsteinquelle, remain operational. These historical and functional water sources will continue to serve the community. The water supply line to the closed spring will be permanently decommissioned following pipeline renovations along Platter StraĂe.
The Carl-von-Jbell Spring in Wiesbaden's Adamstal district has been shut down due to vandalism and financial considerations. Residents will be formally notified on November 17. The city's other two public springs will continue to function.
