Complimentary Hydration: Savor a refreshing gulp during the sweltering summer heat
In various German cities, you can find public drinking water stations, often referred to as "Trinkbrunnen" in German. These stations are common in public parks, squares, and near transit hubs. Here's a guide to help you find these amenities in several cities.
Firstly, checking the official city websites or municipal services pages is a great starting point. These resources often list public amenities including drinking water stations. For instance, in Wolfenbüttel, you can find a drinking fountain on the city market, while in Brunswick (Braunschweig), there are drinking fountains at the Herzogin-Anna-Amalia-Platz and at the Löwenwall.
In addition to city websites, local tourist information centers may provide maps or guides that can help you locate these stations. If you're having trouble finding the information online, consider reaching out to these centers for assistance.
Another option is to use local apps or websites dedicated to public utilities or urban infrastructure. These resources can provide detailed information about the locations of drinking water stations in your desired city.
Lastly, visiting local environmental or public health departments that manage water facilities can also be beneficial. They may have the most up-to-date information about the locations of these stations.
While specific information about publicly accessible drinking water stations in the cities of Wolfenbüttel, Brunswick, Wolfsburg, Peine, Goslar, Helmstedt, and Salzgitter could not be found in the current search, I recommend using the methods mentioned above to find the exact locations in these cities.
It's worth noting that several of these cities are participating in the Refill project, a nationwide, non-profit initiative. The Refill project allows participants to refill their reusable water bottles with tap water for free. Participating locations can be recognized by a blue sticker with the Refill logo. Cities such as Salzgitter, Goslar, and Helmstedt are part of this project, according to the "Map of Tomorrow".
In some cities, like Peine, many businesses and facilities are participating in the drinking water action. In Peine, over 25 businesses and facilities now have Refill stations. Participating businesses, cafes, and facilities can be recognized by white-blue stickers.
The goal of the Refill project is to improve access to drinking water in public spaces. In cities like Wolfenbüttel and Wolfsburg, you can find Refill stations at various locations, including the town hall in Wolfsburg.
