geography
Geographical location
Bad Salzschlirf is located in the Fulda valley at an altitude of 250 to 495 meters on the northeastern edge of the Vogelsberg in the valley of the Schlitz , which is created there by the confluence of the Lauter and Altefeld rivers .
climate
Due to the location of the town center in a valley basin, the climate is relatively mild. Cuts in the basin resulting from three valleys allow the winds to pass through and prevent air congestion and humid conditions in summer. A phenological map drawn up by Egon Ihne for 1911 shows that the apple blossom occurs earlier in Bad Salzschlirf and the surrounding area than in other places in the area.
Community structure
Bad Salzschlirf only includes the district of the same name (Gmk.-Nr. 60222) and, along with Nieste, is the only municipality in the Kassel administrative district without districts. It has not been changed as part of the regional reform in Hesse .
Neighboring communities
Bad Salzschlirf borders in the north on the Schlitzer district of Ützhausen ( Vogelsbergkreis ) and in the east on the Schlitzer districts of Üllershausen and Hartershausen. To the south lies the community of Großenlüder (district of Fulda) with the districts of Eichenau and Müs, to the west of the community of Wartenberg (Vogelsberg district) with the districts of Landenhausen and Angersbach.
history
St. Vitus is Bad Salzschlirf's landmark.
Salzschlirf was first mentioned in a document in 885. A few years ago, the year 812 was considered the first historical mention of the place Bad Salzschlirf as Slirefa. But then the insight prevailed that the Slirefa mentioned in a document did not mean Bad Salzschlirf, but Altenschlirf - today a district of Herbstein. In documents from 885 the place mentioned is called Ulterior Slifera, as it is seen from Altenschlirf (Vetus Slirepha) further down across the stream Slirefa. Accordingly, today's Bad Salzschlirf got its name from the river on which it is located.
The development of the place was connected with saline springs from an early stage. As early as the Middle Ages, the Fulda abbots won the salt that was so important at the time in the salt pans of Bad Salzschlirf. The Salzschlirf office formed the village and salt pans . The Bonifaziusbrunnen was drilled in 1746 and helped Salzschlirf to gain its reputation as a spa . When gout was still widespread and hardly treatable with medication, it was the most famous gout fountain in Europe. Towards the end of the 18th century, the Fulda prince-bishop Heinrich von Bibra had the wells drilled deeper in order to increase the yield of the salt springs . This failed because groundwater entered the saline springs. In 1798 the salt pans were closed.
On June 15, 1836, Count Friedrich Wilhelm von Schlitz , called von Görtz (1793–1839), who was in poor health, was given the fountain of Salzschlirf by the Oberberg and Salzwerksdirektion in Kassel. The Bonifaziusquelle, the upper salt well, was exposed again. A bathtub was set up in a neighboring house and it was filled with buckets from the spring. There was no further expansion of the sources for the time being. But even before his death, the count had transferred the feudal rights to his doctor and friend Eduard Martiny (1808–1876). In 1837 he expanded the bathing business with the help of the local farmers. In return for supporting the expansion of the spring, Martiny granted the citizens of Bad Salzschlirfer the right to draw water there free of charge. That right still applies today. In 1838 Salzschlirf became a state-approved spa.
The expansion of the bathing business soon exceeded the doctor's financial means. So he initially sold the fountains to the state, but bought them back in 1873 and founded the Bad Salzschlirf trade union , which from then on operated the pool. After this got into financial difficulties, the bath was sold in 1884 to Louis Weber, a Rhenish manufacturer.
In a major fire on September 9, 1898, almost the entire old town center burned down. Only a few buildings, e.g. B. the Hotel Deutsches Haus have been preserved.
In 1900 Hermann Vollrath and Ludwig Weber founded the Bad Salzschlirf Aktiengesellschaft (AGBS) with Jean Berlit as bathing director. A bathing culture emerged like in other renowned bathing resorts. In 1911 the title “Bad” was awarded. Some scenes from the film Die Feuerzangenbowle with Heinz Rühmann were shot in 1944 in the spa gardens near the Hotel Badehof. In 1973 the last well, the Hermann Vollrath Well, was drilled at a depth of 642 m. By the end of the 1990s, AGBS took over the entire spa operation.
The district of Fulda was a shareholder in the Bad Salzschlirf corporation . In his function, the then District Administrator Fritz Kramer worked for a long time as deputy or chairman of the supervisory board. At the beginning of 2001 this had to file for bankruptcy under his chairmanship. The shareholdings at the general meeting on July 21, 2000 were distributed as follows: 45.22% of the Fulda district, 25.54% of the Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, 11.1% of the Retzmann family. The shell of the AG was bought after the bankruptcy and on June 24, 2002 renamed Arques AG .

Spa and tourism
An important economic mainstay of the place is tourism. A large part of the occupancy results from medical rehabilitation measures by social service providers , formerly known as cure . The occupancy of the place was greatly boosted by the New Pension Insurance Act of 1957, which introduced the principle of “rehabilitation before retirement”. The number of overnight stays rose from 368,804 in 1960 to 506,540 in 1974. In 1967 the central mud bathhouse was put into operation. Spread over five floors were 24 mud bathing cabins with three relaxation rooms each, 30 mud packing rooms with two relaxation cubicles each and additional rooms for medical therapy measures. Each peat bathing cabin and each peat packing room was supplied with peat from a central processing and conveying system. The drained bog was disposed of in the same way. Due to the more restrictive approval practice of the social service providers, the number of overnight stays decreased to 300,281 by 1978. Due to the decentralized structure of the service providers and the therapy monopoly of the AGBS at that time, a clinification of the rehabilitation measures preferred by the payers could only be implemented to a limited extent. Another slump was caused by the Growth and Employment Promotion Act (WFG) that came into force on January 1, 1997. The medical rehabilitation services provided by the Deutsche Rentenversicherung alone collapsed throughout Germany from 960,622 in 1996 to 629,752 in 1997. The statutory reduction in length of stay from four to three weeks per rehabilitation measure and the extension of the entitlement intervals from three to four years resulted in an occupancy loss of around 50%.
There are currently three rehabilitation clinics in Bad Salzschlirf: the Naturana rehabilitation clinic (136 beds), the Dr. Wüsthofen (130 beds) and the Tomesa specialist clinic (98 beds). Bad Salzschlirf is the seat of the Federal Association of German Registrars e. V, who with his academy for civil status operates the training of German registrars.
