history

The beginning of the use of the mineral spring in Bad Schnifis is not known. Originally the Gasthof Zum schwarzen Adler existed here , which was run by Kreszenz Amman until 1841. From 1841 to 1843 by their son-in-law Johann Michael Huber. 1843 was sign host prerogatives then by the municipal council to the surgeon awarded Jakob Nägele (1817-1905). Bad Schnifis itself was founded as a modern spa in 1844, when Jakob Nägele built a new bath house. He submitted the building permit to the Regional and Criminal Court in Feldkirch on March 19, 1844, and was approved by the community and subsequently approved with conditions.

In 1850 the bath was sold to Johann Güle (Güle already ran a bakery in Schnifis), who gave up the operation of the spa and inn in 1857 when he moved away from Schnifis. In 1904, the Bad Schnifis was bought by Ulrich Tschabrun from Nenzing , who relocated the bathing business to a newly built side building.

In 1919 Bad Schnifis was leased by Fanny Amann (1889–1973) and Mali Amann, who also bought it in 1931.

Bathing and healing spring

The healing spring used was a cold sulfur spring. The bath house was built in 1844 directly above the source. In a fire-proof boiler room (bathroom kitchen), the therapeutic bath water was heated in an open kettle and carried into the bathroom in buckets. The peak of the use of the mineral spring was in the middle of the 19th century.

In Eduard Jos Koch's treatise from 1843: " Treatise on mineral springs in a general scientific relationship and description of all baths and wells known in the Austrian monarchy ", the bath is not yet mentioned. Josef Zehenter mentions Bad Schnifis in mineral springs in Vorarlberg in 1895 , but notes that the bathing establishment " seems to be little used ".

A small chapel has existed at the inn / bath since around 1820. At the back of the Fallersee, near the catchment area of ​​the stream, there is a Kneipp basin belonging to the community. This is freely accessible.
