Balthasar Neumann source

The Balthasar Neumann spring was discovered in 1724 by the local pastor of Aschach, Schöppner. It is Germany's strongest iron source and was therefore also called steel source in the past. In addition to the strong iron content and a large part of other minerals, the healing water contains an unusually large amount of dissolved carbon dioxide. In drinking and bathing cures, this causes the minerals and electrochemical reactions to work quickly. In addition to the invigorating and strengthening effect, the steel baths also have a clear tingling effect.

The Würzburg prince-bishop Christoph Franz von Hutten had the spring set for the first time in 1725 by his court architect and engineer Balthasar Neumann , who was also a trained well builder. He discovered ancient oak beams and weapon parts, which suggest that the source was worshiped in Celtic or Germanic times. Bocklet became the prince-bishop's court bath and enjoyed an excellent reputation thanks to its romantic location in unspoilt nature and the excellent effects of the medicinal water.

Significant visitors

In the later Bavarian State Bath Bocklet also important personalities such as the Bavarian Crown Princess Marie in 1844 and again as Queen in 1852. International politicians, nobility and money nobility also strengthened themselves through the relaxing tranquility in the spa garden and the healing water of the steel spring, etc. a. the Russian State Chancellor von Nesselrode , princesses and European diplomats as well as Russian military.

Many noble ladies came to the Bockleter Bubenbad for abdominal problems for a cure, which helped not a few: After her cure with mud and mother liquor baths, Marie von Bayern was finally able to give birth to the longed-for heir to the throne, the later fairytale king Ludwig II .

Not all hopeful, noble spa guests, like Soraya of Persia in 1956, could, however, be helped because of their more serious symptoms .

A small drama took place in Bocklet 1800. The most famous German doctor at the time, Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland , recommended Caroline Schlegel , an emancipated and educated woman whose salon was the meeting point of the Jena Romantikerkreis, because of her serious febrile illness (typhus is suspected) a cure with the healing and strengthening steel water Bocklets. Via Bamberg , where her lover Friedrich Wilhelm von Schelling received further training in innovative natural healing methods, she traveled to Bocklet with her 15-year-old daughter Auguste Böhmer, who was not only found talented and charming by Goethe. Auguste helped care for her mother, but fell ill herself. Her mother recovered quickly, while Auguste died and was buried in Bocklet. Since Schelling had played a leading role in the treatment of both with his then unusual healing methods, he received massive disapproval, especially from Dorothea Veit-Schelling, born Mendelsohn. Differing sides of the Jena and feelings of guilt by Karolines, who was still married to August Wilhelm Schlegel, because of her mesalliance with Schelling and Augustes death as the perceived punishment for this gave rise to a dispute that escalated in the Jena romantic circle and broke it. Friedrich von Gärtner designed a tomb for Auguste Böhmer , which Bertel Thorvaldsen made in Rome from white marble. Since it never got to Bocklet because of the dispute and probably also for financial reasons, it is now on display in the Thorvaldsen Museum in Copenhagen . Only a plaster cast of this artistically remarkable and sensitive triptych came after Bocklet . A few facts and his constant, relatively large interest in Auguste speak for the thesis that Goethe could actually have been Auguste's biological father, but no unequivocal proof of this has been found to this day.

The lords of the castle in the district of Aschach, the Counts of Luxburg, often received well-known guests such as Bismarck , the later Empress Auguste Victoria and many other personalities.

Today the historical guests are represented by the Rondo Historica group.

Description of coat of arms

Blazon : In blue a silver fountain, above it on the right a little golden label, inside on a green three-hill a left-facing, red armored black hen, on the left a silver label, inside it under two diagonally crossed red maces a red heraldic rose.

Coat of arms history

Bad Bocklet was created in its current size in 1972 through the merger of the communities of Steinach an der Saale, Aschach, Bad Bocklet and Großenbrach. The coats of arms of Aschach, Bad Bocklet and Steinach were used as the basis for a new coat of arms. The Heilbrunnen was taken from the Bad Bocklet coat of arms. The small shield with the hen, the coat of arms of the Counts of Henneberg, stands for the former municipality of Aschach. The von Hennebergs ruled there in the Middle Ages. The two red maces are taken from the coat of arms of the former municipality of Steinach an der Saale. The rose was only added to today's coat of arms. The maces come from the coat of arms of the Forstmeister Lebenhan-Rotenkolben. They were the forest masters in the so-called salt forest. The colors silver and blue are the colors of Bavaria. They stand for the name Bayerisches Staatsbad . The coat of arms was officially awarded on February 16, 1982.
