Good description - unfortunately the grid is suboptimal but probably necessary to avoid vandalism

The Carolingian aqueduct was built by Charlemagne based on ancient blueprints. Its origins are thought to be at the Karlsquellen, above the Sandmühle. Over a length of 6.8 km, the aqueduct supplied the imperial palace in Ingelheim with high-quality, running drinking water. The 40 cm wide aqueduct was sealed with a reddish mortar to make it waterproof and covered with a vault. It ran mostly underground and supplied, among other things, a basin in the palace, which is still visible today.
