history
Until the 18th century
The Bavarian Forest, located in the middle of the largest contiguous forest area in Germany, was mentioned early on in the history books. The area was cleared first by monks, then by a few settlers who settled in the jungle area. The first documentary report about Bodenmais is in the land register of the Bavarian dukes around the year 1300, in which the "item das Goldwerch ze Pabenmaiz" is reported. Around the middle of the 15th century, silver was dug in the pits near Bodenmais, called "God's Almighty Gift". Around 1485 the place received special privileges from the Bavarian Duke Albrecht IV. The great freedom letter of 1522 made the place a "Completely free mountain town " raised.
After the extraction of precious metals had declined, the mine switched to the production of vitriol in 1542 , which was then used to dye textiles. When it was converted into a Hofmark in 1580, the rights of the free mountain town were extinguished. From 1760, sales of vitriol stalled.
19th and 20th centuries
A new process of producing potée ( polishing red ), which was used to grind the glasses and polish the mirrors, allowed the factory to flourish between 1870 and 1914. Bodenmaiser Potée went all over the world. But the development of new chemical manufacturing processes soon meant that the company was no longer competitive. The last shift was on May 27, 1962.
After glassworks had settled in the Bodenmaiser area in the 15th century , Bodenmais became a glass refining center within 30 years after 1945 and offers the largest selection of lead crystals in Germany. Since no industry, apart from the major transport links, wanted to settle there, apart from the glass industry, tourism was recognized early on as an opportunity to earn a living. The origins go back to 1883, when the Bavarian Forest Association was founded in Bodenmais . After the war, tourism was further expanded and Bodenmais became the most famous and most visited health resort in the Bavarian Forest.
In 1945 Bodenmais was declared a climatic health resort and raised to the market in 1958. In 1962 the construction of a heated outdoor pool began, in 1967 the spa house was built, and in 1972 the indoor pool was put into operation.
In June 1976 there was a meeting with South Africa's President Balthazar Vorster on the initiative of US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger . In his company was u. a. Foreign Minister Hilgard Muller , Foreign State Secretary Brand Fourie and the boss of BOSS , Hendrik Van den Bergh. While regional representatives rated the event positively, the Federal Chancellor at the time feared that it would affect Germany's newly aligned Africa policy in international perception.
In 1989 the new town hall with spa administration, the underground car park and the spa gardens were completed. As a conclusion to the efforts of the place in the tourist area it received in December 1992 the predicate "climatic health resort".
