Roman time

In Roman times , the Ems fort and the Auf der Schanz fort were located in what is now the inner city , none of which has survived. There were auxiliary troops to protect the Limes stationed. In the immediate vicinity of the small fort there was a Roman brick factory. The Limes crossed the Lahn in the urban area in the area of ​​Grabenstraße, immediately east of the Kurhaus, with which the second section of the Upper Germanic-Rhaetian Limes in the Taunus begins in the traditional division . In the forests around the city there are still very clear traces of the former Roman border system, including one of the earliest tower reconstructions on the Wintersberg. The Bad Ems Museum shows finds from the fort and the fort bath.

In the Roman era, the silver deposits near Ems may have been exploited. The most recent finds by the General Directorate for Cultural Heritage of Rhineland-Palatinate at the height north of the city area and at the modern thermal baths in the inner city area also revealed further settlement findings from the 1st century AD in 2019.

middle Ages

The village of Ems is believed to have been founded in Franconia in the 6th century AD. It was first mentioned in a document in 880. In the Middle Ages and in the early modern period, it developed as a rural settlement on the lower reaches of the Emsbach , which also included many vineyards. In 1324 King gave Ludwig the Bavarian the town charter . To the east of the village, at the outlet of the thermal springs, the Emser Bad was probably built in the 14th century, which is documented as the "warm bayt by Eumetze" from 1352. Count Johann of Nassau-Hadamar decreed in 1361 Wittumsbeschreibung favor his wife Elisabeth von Waldeck u. a. "Unnser Bad zu Embs". In 1382 there was a “Thurne ubir dem bade”. In 1474 and 1479, the two sovereigns, the Counts of Nassau and the Counts of Katzenelnbogen, carried out extensive construction work on the bath. A chapel was also built. As early as the late Middle Ages, Bad Ems was one of the nationally important baths that were visited, for example, by the archbishops of Trier and Mainz as well as by the sovereigns. The bathing buildings were in the area of ​​the later Kurhaus (today Häcker's Grand Hotel). The first printed bath script in German, Hans Folz “Puchlein von allen paden” (around 1480), mentions Ems.

Modern times

In the 17th / 18th In the 19th century, Ems was one of the most famous seaside resorts in Germany. At that time it was under the joint rule of Orange-Nassau and Hesse-Darmstadt . During this time, important buildings were built, especially from 1709 to around 1725 the Princely Orange-Nassau Bathhouse, which is still preserved today in the eastern part of the Kurhaus (Häcker's Grandhotel) with what is probably the oldest fountain hall in Germany, the Catholic Chapel Maria Königin (1661 on the then Kurmainzisches Area), the Mainz house (1696 also in the Electoral Mainz area) and the four towers house (1696). In the Mainz house on the left side of the Lahn (Spieß-Ems) the Ems Congress of the Deputies of the Spiritual Electors met in 1786 and adopted the Ems punctuation . Since 1806 Ems was part of the Duchy of Nassau . In 1822 the place and the bath were combined into one community. Ems became a town in 1863. The Duchy of Nassau was annexed by Prussia in 1866 .

The place experienced its heyday in the 19th century as a " world bath " and summer residence of numerous European monarchs and artists, including Kaiser Wilhelm I , the Tsars Nicholas I and Alexander II of Russia , Richard Wagner , Vasily Vereschtschagin and Fyodor Mikhailovich Dostoyevsky .

The publication of the Emser Depesche contributed to the outbreak of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870/71 , which led to the establishment of the German Empire . Furthermore, in Ems in 1876, Tsar Alexander II signed the Ems Decree in the four towers house . The decree made the dissemination of literary material in the Ukrainian language a criminal offense. A memorial inscription on said site commemorates the historical event. Since 1913 the place has had the official addition of bath.

The history of one of the great European health resorts of the 19th century still shapes the cityscape today. Former hotels and lodging houses as well as residential areas are connected to the historic spa district with its impressive and well-preserved spa architecture. Buildings like the Russian Church and the Malbergbahn are also part of it. The city is embedded in a picturesque landscape that was opened up early on by promenades and walking paths to lookout points, some of which have been preserved to this day.

The 20th century brought profound changes with the two world wars and the occupation. Numerous stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the Jews murdered during the National Socialist era. Since the 1950s, the health resort changed to a "social cure". In 1947, the State Statistical Office for Rhineland-Palatinate was established in Bad Ems , and in the course of the territorial reform of 1969 the city became the administrative seat of the newly formed Rhein-Lahn district and in 1972 of the Bad Ems community.

Mining

In the 19th and 20th centuries, today's spa was also characterized by significant ore mining . The focus of the promotion was on the metals lead , silver , zinc and copper . In Roman times there was perhaps ore extraction in open-cast mining , which is still evidenced by numerous pings on the Blöskopf today . In the Middle Ages, underground mining with tunnels and shafts was used. Mining is mentioned for the first time in a document from 1158, but mining was interrupted in the late Middle Ages. For the period from 1595 to 1605 there is evidence of an ironworks in the village, which was subject to tax in Nassau-Orange .

He was resumed in the 18th century. The age of industrialization led to an extensive expansion of the company, which from 1871 traded as Emser Blei- und Silberwerk AG . In 1909 the company was taken over by the later Stolberger Zink AG and continued as a mine until the end of 1945 due to the war (on March 19, failure of the public power grid due to bombing, resulting in failure of the pumps in the pits: the pits filled with groundwater). After the Second World War , production was not resumed. Until 1959, stockpiles and foreign ore were still divorced in the Silberau central processing facility. On the left side of the Lahn were the Malberg and Bergmannstrost (Lindenbach) pits, on the right of the Lahn the Neuhoffnung, Fahnenberg, Pfingstwiese pits (from where the “ Emser Tönnchen ” come from) and the Tollgraben operating point. The latter were also combined to form the Mercur mine. The company also included the Arzbacher Silberkaute mine and the Braubacher Rosenberg mine with the Königsstiel operating point, which ceased operations in 1963 as the last mine on the Emser Gangzug. Traces of the mining industry can still be found in the form of old railway embankments, heaps and tunnel entrances in the Emser Hütte in the Emsbachtal district, the former power station in the Lindenbach , completed in 1905 , whose neo-Gothic brick facade now houses a supermarket, and in the wider area in the form of lead sand - Sandberg waste dump and the Nieverner Hütte industrial monument , located in the neighboring communities of Nievern and Fachbach . With Friedrichssegen, which is about 5 km away and now belongs to Lahnstein , there is another former mining site in the lower Lahn valley.

mayor

Mayor of Bad Ems is Oliver Krügel. With Frank Ackermann (SPD), Oliver Krügel (CDU), Markus Wieseler (FDP) and Michael Brüggemann (Die PARTTEI), four candidates applied for this office in 2019. In the first round, Krügel (CDU) was with 37.1% ahead of Ackermann (SPD) with 34.2%. This was followed by Wieseler (FDP) with 19.0% and Brüggemann (Die PARTTEI) with 9.6%. Since no applicant received more than half of the valid votes, a runoff between Krügel and Ackermann was necessary. In this runoff election on June 16, 2019, Oliver Krügel (CDU) prevailed with 63.0% against Frank Ackermann with 37.0%. He succeeds the non-party Berny Abbot, who had not run for another term.

economy

Entrance to a tunnel in Arzbacher Straße, Bad Ems

As a thermal spa, Bad Ems lives largely from the spa business. Despite structural changes in the classic pool system in the 1990s, combined with less approved spa therapy measures and declining visitor numbers until 2005, health tourism is becoming increasingly important again due to demographic change . Further impulses for tourism are expected from the application as a UNESCO World Heritage site ; Bad Ems is a member of the Great Spas of Europe association .

Bad Ems has a varied industry (including medical and electrical engineering , tourism ) , albeit limited due to its focus on spa operations . The ore mining was an important employer in Bad Ems until March 1945 ; the Silberau central processing plant was also in operation until 1959. Architectural evidence can be found scattered throughout the city.
