The Thermal Water.
Why is thermal water so good for you?
Every day, more than 800,000 litres of thermal water, which is still up to 68°C hot, bubble up from the earth in Baden-Baden. On its way from a depth of 2,000 metres to the earth's surface, it takes minerals with it: sodium, chloride, fluorine, lithium, silicic acid and boron. It is these substances that we owe the healing effect to.
Whether you have heart or circulatory problems, metabolic disorders or respiratory diseases, the healing power of our springs promotes well-being and recovery.
In addition, the thermal water, with its warmth and ingredients, promotes blood circulation in your muscles, joints and skin.
A beneficial effect for body, mind and soul!
Where does the thermal water come from?
The thermal water rises from the Florentinerberg spring area. There are a total of twelve springs here, which rise to the surface from a depth of around 2,000 metres through the pressure of the earth's crust, at a temperature of between 56°C and 68.8°C. This makes them the hottest and most mineral-rich springs in the whole of Baden-Württemberg.
The springs are between 12,000 and 17,000 years old and produce around 800,000 litres of thermal water (9 litres per second) every day.
Where does the name Baden-Baden come from?
Baden-Baden was founded by the Romans over 2000 years ago. The Roman settlement was called Aquae in Latin, which means source or bath, because of its healing springs.
In the Middle Ages, the city was simply called Baden.
To distinguish it from other towns with the same name (Baden in Switzerland and Baden near Vienna), the double name Baden-Baden was used as early as the 16th century. However, it was only in 1931 that Baden-Baden became the official name of the spa town that is now known throughout the world.
