In the middle of the 20th century, the basement floors of today's Hindenburgstraße 20/22 always showed damp spots after heavy rainfall. When investigating the cause, one came across a hole about 20 meters deep, at the lowest point of which were old wooden planks. According to oral tradition, this is supposed to be a so-called "Judenbrunnen" in earlier times. This was a (non-Jewish) name for a mikveh, a ritual bath in Judaism.
