A mineral water fountain with a long tradition

The Rhens mineral fountain can look back on a long tradition and was already known beyond the region in the Middle Ages. The oldest document is the diary of a Nuremberg merchant from 1577, who passed through Rhens on one of his many study trips and described the "Sauerbrunnen". At the historical location in Rhens, European history was written in the Middle Ages. Due to the geographically good location and the proximity to castles and fortresses in the Middle Rhine Valley, a "royal chair" stood at the fountain. European monarchs held congresses and elections here and set important political courses. In those days, the kings also fortified themselves with mineral water at the Königsstuhl. Today, hikers and cyclists can also get free mineral water directly from the spring at the drinking fountain at any time.

Since 1862, mineral water has been bottled commercially at the present location in Rhens (Middle Rhine). Over the decades, the fountain has had a very eventful history. In the 20th century, Rhenser Mineralbrunnen was a co-founder of the VDM (Association of German Mineral Wells). For many decades, Rhenser was an important driving force in the German mineral water industry. A high standard that we continue to live up to today with innovative and sustainable beverage concepts. Since September 2017, the innovative traditional fountain has been managed by the brothers Christian and Friedrich Berentzen.
