The first version of the current well house was built in 1650 and restored in 1971. It is the well of the Herrichhauser Bach, which never falls dry in the summer. Therefore, it is discussed to be the starting point of the village Cronenberg (today a part of Wuppertal). It is thought to be inhabited at least already in the 7th century by the Saxons.
