The town of Lahnstein has been known for its sulfur springs since 1366. Over the centuries, some of these springs dried up completely, while others significantly increased in yield.

In the late 1870s, a well was drilled near the Rhine by L. Best, the merchant Lesemeister, and the technician Jean Eigel from Cologne, which they named "Victoria Spring." Close by, Best drilled another well, which he called Minerva Spring. Both were sold in 1881 to the Dutch Consul General C. G. Rommenhöller, who significantly marketed the mineral water in Holland and Dutch India. Later, the management of the spring was in the hands of director J. L. Koolhoven in Oberlahnstein, who was succeeded by Dr. E. J. Bouw in 1960.

Alongside the Victoria Spring, the sister company "Rheinische Kohlensäure-Werke A.G. Oberlahnstein" managed the sale of natural spring carbonic acid. Subsequently, the company was sold to AGA Gas, Bad Driburg, followed in 1987 by an acquisition by the Beck & Co Brewery in Bremen.

Today, the Victoria Heil- und Mineralbrunnen GmbH is managed by the managing partner Dirk Wöhner. The Lahnsteiner Mineralquellen Vertriebs GmbH, a 100% subsidiary of Victoria founded in mid-2002, is exclusively engaged in the distribution of mineral water and its soft drinks.

The spring is a warm (32° Celsius) alkaline muriatic saline spring, whose water flows from a depth of 450 meters at around 1000 liters per minute. The water is characterized primarily by its high content of carbonic acid, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium chloride. The spring dried up in 1919, 1935, and 1945, the latter due to war damage, which destroyed 85% of the facilities.

The spring was able to be reactivated in all cases. Back then, as today, there was a thermal swimming pool on the premises - it was intended for employees. With many years of tradition, Victoria Heil- und Mineralbrunnen GmbH now presents itself as a modern medium-sized company.
