May 25, 2026, Bösinger Wasserhäusle

The Bösinger Wasserhäusle was a pumping station and was used to transport fresh spring water from a source in the Waldach valley via cast iron pipes to the village of Bösingen (a district of the municipality of Pfalzgrafenweiler), located 1.4 km away and 140 meters higher up. The pumps were driven by the water power of the Waldach. A water wheel with a diameter of six meters was used. The facility went into operation in 1894. In 1911, it was supplemented by an 8 hp gasoline engine, which could now also drive the pumps during low water levels in the Waldach. In 1948, it was connected to the power grid via a transformer station, after which a newly installed electric motor could serve as a backup drive. The Bösingen's own water supply was taken out of service in 1991 due to drinking water contamination. The entire facility, including the weir, the power channel, and the pumping station, has been protected as a cultural-historical monument since 2000. The pumping station can be visited all day on the Day of the Open Monument. Source: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%B6singer_Wasserh%C3%A4usle

Weir on the Waldach, 300-meter-long drive channel, iron, backward-acting water wheel with spur gear transmission, 6 meters in diameter (originally lined with wooden paddles), 3 meters of head in the drive channel, pump output: 3-5 HP depending on water inflow from the drive channel, double-acting plunger pump from Maschinenfabrik Esslingen from the year 1893 with a high-performance suction and delivery pump and pressure vessel. In 1991, the plant was shut down as a private water supply due to contaminated spring water. Depending on the water level of the Waldach, the pumping station managed to pump 160,000 liters of fresh spring water directly into the houses and into the water reservoir in Bösingen, 2.3 km away and 140 meters higher, in 8 to 14 hours. The spring yields 1-2 liters per second depending on the season.

Mandelberg Castle was first documented in 1287. The approximately 33-meter-high keep survived the destruction by the peasant rebels in 1525.

A pumping station in the Weidach Valley, a cultural-historical monument. Built in 1893/94, the building is beautifully situated in the forest, with a wooden bridge over the Weidach River right next to it. A water wheel is also still in operation here.
