Zitatstein 3:

"Ich weiß nicht, ob täuschende Geister um diese Gegend schweben oder ob die warme, himmlische Phantasie in meinem Herzen ist, die mir alles rings umher so paradisisch macht."

Goethe, Die Leiden des jungen Werthers

Vor dem Wöllbacher Tor speisten im 18. Jahrhundert zwei Quellen einen Trinkwasser- und einen Waschbrunnen. Goethe besuchte den Wildbacher-/Wöllbacher Brunnen häufig und hat ihn in den Wertherbriefen vom 12. Mai, 15. Mai und 6. Juni erwähnt. Heute ist der am Wahlheimer Weg gelegene Brunnen als Goethe-Brunnen bekannt.
