Bad Colberg is a state-approved place with a mineral spring spa in the Heldburger Land in Thuringia . The place belongs to the city of Heldburg in the district of Hildburghausen and has 142 inhabitants (as of January 1, 2020).
geography
Bad Colberg is located on the Rodach about 15 kilometers west of Coburg . Neighboring towns of Bad Colberg are Ummerstadt in the south and Sülzfeld in the north. To the west and east of Bad Colberg there are extensive forest areas. The place itself is on the west side of the Rodach, while the health clinic is on the east side.
History and health resort
The place "Colberg" was first mentioned in 1288. According to the hereditary book of Sonnefeld monastery from 1514, the village was in mixed rule. The monastery owned 8.5 estates, a mill, a vineyard, a rain and a field.
In 1907, as part of a planned mineral deposit exploration commissioned by the Glückauf Werra potash company , a high-salt thermal spring was discovered. The analysis results of the brine extracted from a depth of around 470 meters were comparable with the values from Wiesbaden and Karlsbad . Due to their proximity to the royal cities of Meiningen and Coburg, they raised hopes for the beginning of a spa tradition. On July 26, 1910, a newly founded bathing company opened a bathing and spa facility with an 11,000 square meter spa park. The bathing business ended with the outbreak of the First World War in the summer of 1914. During the war, the clinic was used as a prisoner-of-war camp for high-ranking officers.
The political changes after the war, especially the annexation of the Free State of Coburg to the Free State of Bavaria , prevented the hoped-for further development. In 1921 the Thuringian State Insurance Company acquired the facility. In 1927 she had a fluoride-containing sodium chloride thermal spring developed at a depth of 632 meters and expanded the spa facilities by 1930 in neo-baroque forms with a horseshoe-shaped floor plan and a 170-meter-long lobby. There was a sanatorium with 180 beds until 1939. During the Second World War, it was used as a hospital and children's home .
The community benefited from this infrastructure until the fall of the Berlin Wall , because in the GDR era Bad Colberg could only be reached with a special permit, as it was in a restricted area. The health clinic was used from 1950 to 1990 as a sanatorium for the members of the then Ministry of the Interior of the GDR . After drilling a magnesium-containing calcium sulfate thermal spring at a depth of 920 meters in 1974, a drinking hall and swimming pool were built in the same year. In 1976/1977 the construction of a sports hall followed and 1978/1979 the construction of two houses for the staff and a single-family house for the head doctor. From 1984 the sanatorium of the Ministry of the Interior was named “Dr. Kurt Fischer ".

After it was transferred back to the Thuringian State Insurance Company in February 1991, it initiated boreholes in 1994, which hit a sulphurous thermal brine at a depth of 1,400 meters. This started the expansion of Bad Colberg into a modern health resort. A new clinic with 300 beds and a terrace thermal bath was built in 1994 and put into operation on May 31, 1997. The old spa facilities were renovated according to the historical model. In 2005 Dengg Kliniken Consult GmbH leased the rehabilitation clinic and refurbished parts of the building from 2007 onwards. In 2016, the Median clinics took over the clinic.
With effect from March 23, 1993 Colberg was incorporated into the newly formed municipality of Bad Colberg-Heldburg. In June 2002, the state recognition as a place with medicinal spring spa operation followed. Bad Colberg has been part of the newly formed town of Heldburg since January 1, 2019 .
