history

The first plans to introduce a spa commissioner's office, combined with the task of police supervision of the spa, had existed for Bad Kissingen since 1821 under its first district judge, Georg Friedrich Conrad , who was also responsible for the spa. But this official title was probably not introduced until the beginning of the 1830s under district judge Theodor Boveri . Until 1862, the Bad Kissinger Landrichter then remained in personal union also Badkommissar. It was not until 1862 that the judiciary and administration were separated in Bavaria. Since then, the district administrator (head of office) has also been the responsible bathroom inspector.

As bath commissioner, the respective government official was responsible for the organizational administration and supervision of the entire spa operation in the state baths of Bad Kissingen and Bad Bocklet as well as the administration and maintenance of the state's own land and real estate within his district. Because of his responsibility for the general district administration, the position of the bath commissioner was mostly filled with an administrative lawyer with the rank of (senior) government councilor . He was supported in the tasks of the spa by a pool inspector.

As of January 1952, in the office Hans Wutzlhofers the concept of Badkommissariats replaced by the State Kurverwaltung and the Badkommissars by the state Kurdi Rector - now with responsibility for Kurbetrieb and state property in the two public spas, temporarily in addition to the state bath Bad Brückenau . Government responsibility for the district has now been transferred to other departments. Until 1998, the position of Bad Kissingen spa director was filled exclusively by a senior civil servant from the financial administration . The spa administration was under the Bavarian State Ministry of Finance until 1998 .

In November 1998, the Bad Kissingen state spa administration was transformed into the Bayerische Staatsbad Bad Kissingen GmbH , based on the private sector model, with the involvement of the city's own Bad Kissinger Bäderverwaltungs-OHG . The Free State of Bavaria and the City of Bad Kissingen have held shares in this GmbH since then. The GmbH managing director has now taken the place of the historical bath commissioner and later spa director . This position is no longer filled with civil servants, but exclusively with executives from the private sector. But even today the managing director of the GmbH is often referred to as the spa director in public .

Official seat

Until 1827, the Bad Kissingen district court had its seat in the building erected in 1804 on (today's) Zwingergasse between Mühlgasse and Oberer Marktstrasse . From 1827 the district judge (from 1862 the district administrator) and bath commissioner had his official seat in the new and larger building at the end of Obere Marktstrasse . From 1972 to 2014 (demolition) the state spa administration was located in an office building built for this purpose by the Free State of Bavaria at Kurgarten 1. Until the move into new premises (2018) in the previously refurbished Luitpoldbad , which was then used as an office building, Staatsbad GmbH had its own Headquarters at changing locations in Bad Kissingen.
