Around 50 million years ago, the Germeta Sauerbrunnen was formed here in the Warburg region at the point where Buntsandstein and limestone fractured. As early as the 17th century, the springs were famous for the work of the monks from the Cistercian monastery in Hardehausen. That he knows nothing healthier and more refreshing than Germeter sparkling water, said Stephanus Overgahr, the then abbot of the Cistercians, and has been documented since 1679. Germete GmbH was officially founded in 1922. Today it is one of the well-known mineral water brands in Germany and occupy a leading position in the order of over 200 mineral water companies.
