The Lohbach Quelle is a well in Dortmund (North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany). It s often called Hörder Bach Quelle because the main part of the stream is called Hörder Bach. Two old information panels are attached to the site, which is situated in the Schwerter Wald.

It is not known if the site was used as a sanctuary in prehistory. One of the names (Lohbachquelle) is based on the Germanic term , which often means a combination of "wetlands" and "forest". Moreover, the remains of a Bronze Age barrow cemetery were found nearby (Berghofen Huegelgrab).
