The Draischbrunnen is a spring in Bonn-Godesberg (North Rhine-Westphalia/Germany). It is thought to have been venerated in ancient times. A stone dedicated to Aesculapius, which dates from 198 AD, was found nearby in the 16th century. In the 18th century, Godesberg became a spa town because of the quality of the water.

Later analysis of the water suggested that the good quality of the water was due not only to the slate layer, but also to the overlying greywacke layers with and without basalt inclusions and finally to the volcanic rock and basalt deposits in the area.
Temporarily the quality of the water was reduced due to groundworks in the nearby area. However, it was restored due to additional drill holes. Godesberg was not a spa town anymore after World War II. The current well house was built in 1970. Water from the well can still be bought there.
