Herschbach, Selters, a municipality in the Verbandsgemeinde Selters, Westerwaldkreis, Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany
Pleudihen-sur-Rance maintains a town partnership with the German community of Herschbach in the Westerwaldkreis, Rhineland-Palatinate.
Artificial "selters waters" with added minerals have been created to make competition, thus helping to establish the fame of the original water as an international reference of soda water, e.g. by Torbern Bergman who made thorough analyses of mineral waters and in 1775 presented how to make carbonated water to mimic genuine mineral waters.
•
The production at the famous main well in Niederselters was terminated in 1999, but production continues at a well in the nearby (25 km away) village of Selters-Löhnberg, in commercial use for almost 200 years, as well as at the competing one in Oberselters.
•
The wells are mentioned already in 772 in documents at the nearby monasteries in Fulda and Lorsch.
