Bad Clevers
The Bad Clevers is a leisure and sanatorium in Upper Swabia Gronenbach .
history
Bad Clevers, also called “Bad Kläffers” or “Kläfferes Bad”, has a very long tradition as a bathing lake. The bath was often visited well before the Thirty Years' War . In 1671 Michael Zech von Kalden took over Bad Clevers, which was very shabby at the time. Michael Zech built a new bathhouse in 1671 for 500 guilders . The bathkeeper also had the right to bake bread, run a butcher's shop, and serve beer. The serving of wine, however, was prohibited. Nine years after the new building of the bathhouse, 6,480 bathers could be counted in 1700. In 1732, permission was given to accommodate bathers there. Over the centuries, several bathhouses were built and renovated, for example in 1671, 1835, 1900 and most recently in the 1990s. The Kneipp spa home was founded in 1937/38 by Dr. Georg Schmidtchen and has since been expanded and renovated several times.
