Unfortunately, the age of the Wäscheborn cannot be precisely determined without archaeological investigations. In the realm of speculation lies the supposedly handed down knowledge of older Spangenbergers that the "left-wing married" Landgravine Margarethe von der Saale (1522-1566) is said to have washed her laundry there. Unfortunately, this can no longer be verified. So we limit ourselves to a special feature in the basin, namely a large stone on the western side with the symbolic representation of an initially unknown object of the great importance of cloth production in earlier centuries.

All women (Christian and Jewish) used to wash their laundry at the Spangenberger Wäscheborn.
Jewish women could go to the ritual bath Mikveh right next door.
