history

A Russian Orthodox chapel in Gorjatschi Klyuch (built at the beginning of the 19th century) and a memorial in honor of the founder of the spa.

Gorjatschi Klyutsch was founded in 1864 and was conceived as a health resort from the beginning, as there are several thermal springs in the vicinity of today's town . The city name, which literally means "hot spring", is based on this. Originally, the newly founded health resort mainly treated soldiers from the nearby garrisons; In the 1860s there was a hospital, a bathhouse and a spa park here.

In 1930 Gorjatschi Kljutsch, meanwhile a nationally known address for those seeking relaxation, received the status of a health resort, and since 1965 it has had the status of a town.

economy

The city, which is close to the intersection of the two trunk roads M4 and M29 , lives mainly from the spa business, has hardly any industry and is therefore ecologically very clean by Russian standards. There are several sanatoriums in Gorjatschi Klyuch that specialize in external and internal treatment with six types of mineral water obtained from a total of 17 springs in and around the city. Recently, the construction of a large thermal bath complex is planned here, in which specialists from Baden-Baden will also be involved.
