The Kopperloch ("Copper Hole") is a well in Hannover (Lower Saxony/Germany). It is also called Teufelsloch ("Devil`s Pit"). This might either suggest a pagan past of the site or it might just refer to the smell of the sulfur-enriched water.
It is documented that the water was used to cure illnesses at least since the 17th century.
