    The fountain points to the old industry of glove makers. A beautiful place in the village center.

    Ideal place for a break. Several benches invite you to linger. Only 250 meters from the Kaiser-Konrad bike path and the Salier bike path.

    Händsching Fountain in Böhl-Iggelheim. A glove maker, the dominant craft in Böhl for centuries, sits on a stool.

    The glove makers pulled the roughly made glove onto a "wooden hand" (similar to a shoemaker's last), which was then secured to a stick, which the tailor held in his hand while sewing the glove.
    Deriving from this profession, the village nickname also arose: the Böhlers were, and are, the "Händschings." (Source: bildhauerei-roerig.de/index.php/platzgestaltung/brunnen-pl%C3%A4tze/67-h%C3%A4ndsching-brunnen-in-b%C3%B6hl.html)
