Fürst Bismarck is a premium German mineral water brand with deep historical roots in the Sachsenwald region. The spring was originally discovered in 1891 by Otto von Bismarck, the first Chancellor of the German Empire. Commercial bottling began in 1906, and for decades, it was a family-owned operation until it was acquired by Nestlé in 1974.

In recent years, the brand has seen significant changes in ownership. In 2017, Nestlé sold the brand and its production facility in Aumühle to the German beverage group Hansa-Heemann AG. Subsequently, in 2021, the Dutch Refresco Group acquired Hansa-Heemann, making Refresco the current ultimate owner. The water continues to be sourced and bottled exclusively in Aumühle, Schleswig-Holstein, maintaining its regional heritage while benefiting from Refresco's global distribution network.
