Bad Sooden-Allendorf is a town and a health resort in the Werra-Meißner district in northern Hesse .
geography
location
Bad Sooden-Allendorf is located directly on the border with Thuringia and almost in the geographical center of Germany . It is located on the Werra to the northwest of the Gobert ridge near the Hohen Meißner to the southwest . To the southeast, near the Kleinvach district, above the river, is Rothestein Castle .
Neighboring communities
Bad Sooden-Allendorf borders in the north on the communities Lindewerra , Wahlhausen and Asbach-Sickenberg , in the east on the communities Wiesenfeld and Volkerode (all in the Thuringian district of Eichsfeld ), in the south on the community Meinhard , the city Eschwege and the community Berkatal , im West to the city of Großalmerode and to the northwest to the city of Witzenhausen (all in the Werra-Meißner district).
City structure
In addition to the core town of Bad Sooden-Allendorf, the city consists of the districts of Ahrenberg , Dudenrode , Ellershausen , Hilgershausen , Kammerbach , Kleinvach , Oberrieden , Orferode and Weiden . The core city itself consists of Sooden and Allendorf, with Sooden on the western side of the railway line.
history
The place has existed since at least the end of the eighth century. This is evidenced by a deed of donation by Charlemagne , King of the Franks , which historians dated between 776 and 779. With this document, Karl transferred the salt springs, salt pans, salt workers, market, tribute and customs of the Westera settlement to the Fulda monastery . The name of the settlement refers to its location on the western border with Thuringia .
The Roman historian Tacitus left an even older document that does not refer to the settlement, but to the location. According to his report, chatting and Hermunduren are said to have quarreled over salt springs on a border river. The border river was the Werra, and historians believe the sources were those under what is now Sooden.
During the Thirty Years' War , troops moved through from 1623 under the generals Johann T'Serclaes von Tilly , Wallenstein , Jean de Merode and Gottfried Heinrich zu Pappenheim . Each time they collected occupation costs and sold letters of protection so that the city would not be set on fire. The coffers of the city and its citizens were empty when the Croatian regiments Geleen and Isolani invaded in April 1637 and set the city on fire on April 27th. The church registers do not record any deaths from the fire, because the citizens were able to save themselves through connecting doors between all the cellars in the city. But in the same year 141 of them died, because when they lived in the cellar vaults after their return, the plague broke out. Sooden was not burned because the saltworks were under the protection of the landgrave. Only the foundation walls remained of Allendorf.
Many carpenters were needed for the reconstruction, more than could be found in the area. So colleagues traveled from Lower Saxony, Thuringia and the rest of Hesse. The three typical half-timbered styles can be found in the city today. The Rathof - built entirely of stone - survived the great city fire and has been preserved as the oldest building in the city. Until 1821, Allendorf was the main town of the Hessian office Allendorf , which in that year became part of the newly formed Witzenhausen district.
For more than 1000 years, until the end of the 19th century, salt was extracted from brine in boiling houses . The brine was extracted from a deposit under the city. The abolition of the salt monopoly as a result of the annexation to Prussia in 1866 led to a drop in prices, which led to the abandonment of salt production. The last salt was extracted in 1906.
At the same time as the saltworks went down , the healing properties of the brine were discovered and the construction of a bathhouse began. On June 1st, 1881 the house was inaugurated and handed over to its intended use. With the Seehofer's health reform in the 1990s, however, the number of cures also collapsed; meanwhile the city relies on tourism.
Even today, the fountain festival, which takes place every year at Whitsun, is a reminder of the time when salt was extracted. A true-to-original pan demonstrates how salt was extracted in the past. The salt is then sold in a salt museum; the history of salt production is also presented there.
In 1853, the world's first industrially manufactured cone bag was made by the paper manufacturer Gumpert Bodenheim on the town's market square .
Allendorf and Sooden were forcibly united on July 1, 1929 to form Bad Sooden-Allendorf. Sohten, later Sooden (location of the salt works ), was until then only a place where the saltworkers lived in the Middle Ages, while Allendorf, the seat of the rich owners of the boiling pans , had already received town and market rights in 1218.
modernization
- At the turn of the millennium, the graduation tower was dismantled and completely rebuilt. The reason was the rot of the brushwood, on which the brine drips down. As an open-air inhaler, the building had become indispensable for tourism.
- Werratal thermal baths
- At the end of 2005 a thermal bath with a large sauna area was completed in order to attract private paying guests to the city. The brine exercise pool was converted for this purpose.
- Culture and congress center Werratal
- In April 2007 a new event hall for congresses and concerts was opened at the location of the old hall.
- Play golf course
- In 2010 the mini golf course, consisting of lanes made of Eternit plates , was removed and replaced by a modern play golf course .
- Traffic calming
- The road layout has also been changed. Since then there is no longer any direct connection between Sooden-Nord and Sooden-Süd; car traffic has to switch to the bypass through the industrial area. The station is being dismantled and modernized on two tracks; from there a direct route to Sooden is to be created. With these measures, the city wants to counteract the decline in the spa business insofar as the area around the thermal baths and the spa area becomes easier to reach and a car-free zone.
Incorporations
In the course of administrative reform in Hesse until then independent municipality Ahrenberg was on a voluntary basis on September 1, 1970 incorporated . On January 1, 1972, Dudenrode, Ellershausen, Hilgershausen, Kleinvach, Oberrieden, Orferode and Weiden were added. Kammerbach followed on January 1, 1974 by virtue of state law. For each of the nine incorporated districts, a local district with a local advisory council and a local mayor was set up.
Development of the population
The city published the following population development on its website until 2009 (values in brackets), and from 2003 the values of the Hessian State Office for Statistics:

Debt
Like many municipalities in Germany, Bad Sooden-Allendorf is pushing a mountain of debt in front of it. At a city council meeting at the end of October 2011, Mayor Frank Hix described the situation as “dramatic” and “bottomless pit” - the budget for 2012 including the business plans for the company's own businesses and the investment program up to 2015 were introduced. For 2012, Hix expected a budget deficit of twelve million euros and total debt of 80 million euros. Due to the high level of debt, the city council voted in December 2012 with 17 votes to 5 with 9 abstentions for participation in the municipal protective umbrella program of the State of Hesse. Bad Sooden-Allendorf was thus one of the first municipalities in the Werra-Meißner district to use the so-called protective shield. By using the protective screen, the city should be relieved of around 18.8 million euros in debt. In addition, Mayor Frank Hix expected a further allocation of around 20 million euros from the state compensation stock. By using the protective screen, the city committed itself to an austerity program as well as to increasing taxes and duties. In search of new sources of income, the municipality broke new ground and introduced a horse tax for the first time in early 2013 . In December 2018, an application by the FDP parliamentary group to suspend horse tax did not find a majority in the city council. Abolition is planned for the years from 2021, when the city has fulfilled the requirements of the protective shield. A corresponding motion finally found a majority in the city council in March 2019. This vote was likely due to the fact that the annual tax income of around EUR 18,000 was lower than the initially expected EUR 30,000. In addition, the city of Bad Sooden-Allendorf lost a process at the Kassel Administrative Court at the beginning of the year. Accordingly, the city is not allowed to levy horse tax for eight horses of a club, since the requirements of the horse tax statute are not met.

The trade route from Frankfurt to Lübeck ran right next to the linden tree, the fountain and the Zeitstock .
