Our world of experience
Gerolsteiner Brunnen

Visit us in our new adventure world and experience at first hand through interactive stations what makes our traditional mineral water and Gerolsteiner's history so special.

Who actually found the water?
In the 1880s, geologist Wilhelm Castendyck set out in search of natural carbon dioxide and came across the very first Gerolsteiner mineral water spring by chance. He then took a sample of the water to Prof. Dr. Carl Remigius Fresenius (the most renowned chemist of his time and founder of today's Fresenius Institute). This sample showed that the water was not only full of natural carbon dioxide, but also rich in valuable minerals. This fantastic assessment led to the founding of the Gerolsteiner brand on January 1, 1888.

Find out in our world of experience how the history of Gerolsteiner mineral water continued, what makes our mineral water so special and how simple rain becomes valuable mineral water.

And how does the mineral water get into the bottle?
We would like to invite you to a guided tour of our new, exciting world of experience. Whether as a family, with a school class or as adult explorers - every generation will get their money's worth here.

Together with G-Rex, Mina and Sparky, you will embark on a varied journey into the world of Gerolsteiner mineral water. Children can playfully and interactively discover how our water is made, while adults learn exciting background information and interesting facts about its origin, quality and minerals.

From the history of the Gerolsteiner fountain to the ready-to-sell bottle of mineral water, you will experience step by step what makes our water so unique. Questions such as "How does the carbon dioxide get into the bottle?", "What do volcanoes have to do with our water?" or "Why is our water so rich in minerals?" are guaranteed not to go unanswered during your visit.

Curiosity aroused?
Then pay a visit to G-Rex and his friends in our new Gerolsteiner Adventure World. We look forward to seeing you!
