Around 44 million liters of mineral water gush out of the springs every day - that's the equivalent of 500 liters per second. The medicinal and mineral springs are mainly located in the Bad Cannstatt and Berg districts. They are used for cures and medical purposes as well as for bathing. The three municipal mineral baths, the Leuze, the Mineralbad Berg and the SoleBad Cannstatt am Kurpark, are constantly supplied with fresh mineral water.
Today, mineral water, acidulous water and even thermal water come from 19 wells, thirteen of which are state-recognized healing springs. Around half of the precious water flows unused and unnoticed into the Neckar. In order to ensure the sustainable use of Stuttgart's mineral springs, there has been a designated mineral spring protection area since 2002. After all, Stuttgart's mineral water is a cultural heritage that is the envy of many other cities.
