Staatl. Fachingen (full name: Staatlich Fachingen) is a German medicinal and mineral water discovered in 1740, first sold in jars in 1746,[3] and later bottled starting in 1870.[4] Due to its relatively high content of hydrogen carbonate, it can neutralize excessive acid in the stomach.[2] The spring is located in Lahn valley north of Wiesbaden, close to the eastern boundary of Nassau natural preserve.

The company is headquartered in Fachingen/Lahn and has been part of Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach AG since 1990. Staatlich indicates that the spring was state-owned until this 1990 sale (previous owner: Rhineland-Palatinate).[5] In 2001, Karlsberg acquired controlling interest in the Mineralbrunnen Überkingen-Teinach company from Nestlé, including Afri-Cola and the mineral water brands Staatlich Fachingen and Hirschquelle.[6]

Since 2008, Staatl. Fachingen has also been selling flavored water products.[7] German market share of the company was about 28% in 2004.[8]

Notable appearances

Fachinger Mineral Water was consumed by Adolf Hitler during his term as Chancellor.[9]
