Julianenbrunnen

The Julianenbrunnen, popularly known as the Giljebrunne, is a 400-year-old fountain in the center of the Guntersblum Kellerweg, which is famous for its great wine festival. The building is now considered a cultural monument. Unfortunately, the exact age of the Julianenbrunnen is unknown. The first mention of a fountain at this location dates back to 1472, but the spring has probably been fortified for longer. The Julianenbrunnen was first officially documented in 1608. At this time, the fountain was renovated and the year was carved slightly above the fountain. For centuries, the fountain was used to supply the inhabitants with water, was also used as a water basin for washing clothes in the 19th century and was later used to calibrate wine barrels. The water supply dried up in the early 1970s in connection with construction work in Kellerweg.
