history

City of Bad Brückenau

Already at the time of Charlemagne , an " army road the width of a spear" ran across the Sinn at the site of today's town of Bad Brückenau , and the first farmers probably settled at this ford . Towards the end of the 12th century a larger settlement was built, which was named Sinn-Aue because of its location . The place was first mentioned in a document in 1249, when the diocese of Fulda granted the settlement Sinn-Aue various privileges based on the example of Gelnhausen . Around the year 1260, the bishopric allowed nobles of the region to build four castle estates, one of which, the Hohelin Castle, has been partially preserved. Around this time, the city also received its first protective wall, which had to be expanded as early as 1337.

In 1310 the place Sinn floodplain of Fulda Abbot received Henry V and King (and later Emperor) Henry VII. , The town charter . In the course of the 14th century, the city gained increased economic and political independence through further rights such as the wall law , the licensing law , the market law , the council law and the right to use forests . The continued existence of the four manors in the city repeatedly caused disputes over the exercise of various rights. A legend reports that the Knights of Thüngen attacked the city in 1400, but the attack was repulsed with the help of St. George . Since then, Georg has been venerated as the city's patron , a former war memorial with the figure of the dragon slayer stands in front of the old town hall.

In 1597 a stone bridge was built over the Sinn on the site of today's Sinnbrücke below the Kleiner Steinbusch. The place owes its name to Brückenau . The bridge narrowly escaped demolition in the last days of World War II and was replaced by a modern concrete bridge in the 1960s.

In the Turkish tax register of the abbey of Fulda from 1605 the place is mentioned under the names Bruckenau and Bruckenaw with 191 families.

In the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648), numerous surrounding villages such as Zeitlofs , Geroda , Weißenbach and Detter were plundered and partly destroyed, but Brückenau was spared. In 1634 the plague broke out in the city, killing numerous people.

Today's market square in Bad Brückenau town

In the night of August 13-14, 1876, the town of Brückenau burned down almost completely. Only the suburb, today's old town, was spared. Five people were killed and 140 of 260 buildings were destroyed. In addition, numerous historical documents were destroyed in the fire, which makes the history of the city difficult.

After the city was rebuilt, drilling for healing springs began there too , following the example of the neighboring state bath. Before the First World War, private individuals from Brückenau developed a steel and sulfur spring in Siebener Park, and the city developed another iron spring in what is now the Georgi-Kurpark . A bathhouse was built in Siebener Park, in which mud baths and massages were administered, among other things. Later, an outdoor pool was added next door, which was initially filled with the water from the sulfur spring. An indoor swimming pool was built in the early 1970s, which was extensively modernized and converted into a leisure pool in the 1990s.

On April 8, 1970, the previous city of Brückenau was renamed Bad Brückenau .

Bad Brückenau is the namesake for the inter-municipal merger of the Brückenau Rhön alliance .

The reason for the emergence of the Bad Brückenau state bath is the multitude of healing springs that are located at the south-western foot of the Rhön. The oldest mention of a mineral spring in the area comes from the year 1674. The "re" discovery and version fell during the reign of the Fulda abbot Amand von Buseck (1737–1757), from 1752 Prince-Bishop. The prince abbot was staying in his summer residence Römershag in the summer of 1747 when his personal doctor Johann Burkard Schlereth was made aware of a spring by a shepherd while walking west of the town of Brückenau, the water of which had a wonderful taste. The personal physician reported the discovery to his master, who immediately opened up the source, today's King Ludwig I source, and had the place expanded as a bath. As early as 1749, personal physician Schlereth wrote a "Kurtze description of the ohnweit Brückenau in the Hochstift Fulda newly invented health fountain" for advertising purposes. The first spa buildings were erected: three pavilion-like, two-storey residential buildings with mansard roofs were built on either side of an avenue consisting of four rows of trees and running from north to south. At the northern end of this promenade there was a transverse structure on a hill. The buildings were named deer, ram, swan or lamb, beaver and lion, the transverse building and later the royal building was called Ross. A domed structure on eight columns on the southeast side of the avenue covers the source. This facility was completed in 1749. The Seven Years' War (1756–1763) initially prevented further expansion of the facility. The country suffered from raids, billeting, contributions and looting. The Fulda Monastery was on the verge of ruin. Nevertheless, the bath experienced significant impulses from 1764 during the reign of Prince-Bishop Heinrich von Bibra (1759–1788). A first bathhouse was built in 1779; Until then, all baths were administered in wooden bathtubs in the guests' rooms. At the end of the reign of Heinrich von Bibra, the structural and horticultural design of the complex was initially completed.

The French Revolutionary Wars brought about a real crash for the development of the bathroom. It had to be leased, suffered from raids and looting - the number of visitors fell. In 1796 just 127 guests came for the cure . In 1810 Fulda was added to the Grand Duchy of Frankfurt , in 1816 Brückenau fell to Bavaria, which marked the beginning of the real heyday. King Ludwig I (1786–1868) discovered a love for the bathroom and between 1818 and 1862 stayed a total of 26 times. The son of King Maximilian I became a Bavarian monarch in 1825 at the age of 39. In many summers Bavaria was ruled from the Fürstenhof in Brückenau. The king made Brückenau a gem among Bavarian health resorts .

It was here that Ludwig I and the Irishwoman Eliza Gilbert alias Lola Montez met in 1847 . The dancer and impostor Lola lived in a villa below the royal court, in the lion. The 62-year-old Ludwig lost the crown in 1848, not least because of Lola Montez (1820–1861). The affair shook the Bavarian monarchy to its foundations and almost took the Wittelsbach family out of the throne.

The traces of the most famous guest, King Ludwig I of Bavaria, are omnipresent to this day. Its imposing, historical buildings are lined up in the elegant, baroque park and are both a lively backdrop and stage for action.

Incorporations

In 1939 the previously independent municipalities of Römershag and Wernarz were incorporated. On May 1, 1978, Volkers joined them.

Religions

Christianity

St. Bartholomew, Bad Brückenau

Catholic

In 1694, Brückenau was raised to its own Catholic parish and removed from the parish of Oberleichtersbach .

Today the city parish of St. Bartholomäus Bad Brückenau has a branch in the Römershag district with the St. Benedikt Castle Church . Wernarz is the seat of the Kuratie St. Josef, Bridegroom of Mary with the branch Maria, Heil der Kranken in the Staatsbad Brückenau. Together with the Kuratie Kreuzerhöhung in Volkers , these parishes have formed the Catholic parish community of St. Georg Bad Brückenau since 2009 , which thus encompasses the entire city area. The parish community belongs to the Deanery Hammelburg of the Diocese of Würzburg .

Evangelical

The Evangelical Christ Church from 1908 in the state bath

The Evangelical Lutheran Church of Peace was built in the Georgi Kurpark between 1957 and 1959. The Christ Church , built in 1908 for spa guests in the Staatsbad, was the first Protestant church in Bad Brückenau.

Russian Orthodox

From 1908 to 1920, under the patronage of the " Brotherhood of the Holy Prince Vladimir " led by Archpriest Alexej Maltzew , there was a Russian Orthodox house chapel of St. Mary Magdalene established by Baron Andrej Andrejewitsch Budberg, who lived in the Princely Court .

Judaism

Jews lived in Brückenau since the Middle Ages . A street called Judengasse , which was outside the city walls and marked the Jewish quarter of the city, testifies to this to this day . The Jewish citizens also established a synagogue there. After the Bavarian Jewish edict of 1813 allowed Jews to acquire property and participate in political life, they took on an important role in the city's social and economic life as traders, farmers and craftsmen.

On August 22, 1913, the Jewish community inaugurated its new synagogue in the old slaughterhouse in the presence of numerous representatives from public life . Mayor Reinwald promised her protection by the city at the ceremony. In 1923 the Jewish cemetery was established.

Various aspects of Jewish life in Brückenau are vividly described in a story ( Between Two Cities ) by the Israeli Nobel Prize winner for literature, Samuel Josef Agnon .

After the National Socialists came to power in January 1933 and the Nuremberg Laws were enacted in September 1935, Jews were no longer able to pursue their professions, and business people of Jewish origin were forced to “ Aryanization ”, which was costly.

During the Reichspogromnacht (November 9/10, 1938) the Brückenau synagogue was set on fire between midnight and 1 a.m. The SA storm leader and NSDAP district leader of Brückenau, Hermann Heinritz, put the fire personally. The synagogue burned until the early hours of November 10, 1938, and the dome roof collapsed. Still existing Jewish shops, houses and apartments were barbarically demolished by SA men. Afterwards, all Jews still living in Brückenau had to leave the city. Deportations to concentration and extermination camps began in 1940 .

141 Jewish women and men from Brückenau (city), Geroda, Heiligkreuz, Oberriedenberg, Platz, Schondra, Unterleichtersbach, Unterriedenberg and Zeitlofs (Brückenau district) were victims of the Holocaust.

Since 1987 a large memorial stone in the New Cemetery in Bad Brückenau has been commemorating the former Jewish residents and their place of worship.

coat of arms

  • Small coat of arms

  • Large city arms
Quartered with a heart shield, in the center the small city coat of arms, in fields 1 and 4 the Fulda cross, in fields 2 and 3 a portrait of Hildegard in front of a red-blue background
  • Coat of arms history
In seal impressions from 1399, the Fulda cross in the shield is handed down as a coat of arms. This is an indication of the rule of the Fulda Abbey over Brückenau. From 1525 a seal with a completely different coat of arms is known. In the imprint there are two towers above a crenellated wall with an open gate, between which a heart decorated with roses hovers. In 1818 the coat of arms of Prince Bernhard Gustav von Baden-Durlach is considered the city coat of arms (see small coat of arms above). However, this coat of arms did not contain the half-length portrait of Hildegard, which was added later. Since the Fulda cross was omitted during the revision of the coat of arms in 1819 and the Kemptic coat of arms (divided by red and blue) could not be assigned in Brückenau, only the heart shield remained and was made the city coat of arms. The blue and red Kemptic coat of arms is the coat of arms of the prince abbey of Kempten , in which Bernhard Gustav Margrave of Baden-Durlach was also prince abbot from 1672. Bad Brückenau has two coats of arms today. The official Baden coat of arms (in gold, a red sloping bar), which is also used in the official seal and is also called the "small coat of arms" by the population and the so-called "large city coat of arms", which is the personal coat of arms of Prince Bernhard Gustav von Baden- Durlach is, with the addition of the busts of Hildegard, the founder of the monastery in Kempten.

Buildings

The classicist hall building with arcades was built by order of King Ludwig I according to plans by Johann Gottfried Gutensohn (1792-1851). The foundation stone was laid on the king's birthday on August 25, 1827 as part of a glamorous celebration with a torchlight procession and 700 invited guests. In July 1833 the building was inaugurated in the presence of the court. Both the King Ludwig I Hall, the Lola Montez Hall and the royal box are decorated with ceiling paintings in the style of the Italian Renaissance, executed by the Munich painters Ludwig Höger and Jakob Hochbrand. Today dance events and galas, balls, concerts, theater performances and lectures take place here.

  • Elisabethenhof in the Staatsbad Brückenau

The building, erected in the classicist style in 1894, is named after the Empress Elisabeth of Austria ("Sissi"), who lived here for four weeks in 1898. The building was built as a counterpart to today's Badhotel in the same style and originally served as a lodging house with 48 rooms. The bath doctor Dr. Felix Schlagintweit had set up his urological practice here and was already successfully performing kidney and bladder operations around the turn of the century, assisted by Dr. Pettenkofer from Munich. The building now houses the offices of the state spa administration with guest information, a guest lounge, as well as spa medical practices and occupational and physiotherapy.

  • Schlosshotel Fürstenhof in the Staatsbad Brückenau

The prince's court was built in 1775 on behalf of Prince-Bishop Heinrich von Bibra. King Ludwig I of Bavaria stayed at the Fürstenhof 26 times. He conducted his government business from Bad Brückenau. In 1823 Ludwig I, at that time still Crown Prince, had the left wing added according to plans by Johann Gottfried Gutensohn (1792-1851). This was demolished in 1979 and rebuilt true to the original and the Fürstenhof was completely renovated. Today the Schlosshotel Fürstenhof belongs to the Dorint Resort & Spa as a branch.

  • Parkhotel in the Staatsbad Brückenau

The building was built in Art Nouveau style from 1899–1901 according to plans by the Munich architect Max Littmann (1862–1931). In the last few years it has been renovated several times and converted into a hotel. In 2002 the Vital Spa was added as an exclusive wellness area with physiotherapy and numerous other offers.

  • Bellevue in the Staatsbad Brückenau

The Bellevue was built in 1819 as the first building in the Ludwig era. On the southern rise of the valley opposite today's Fürstenhof, it was built at the same height as the end of the entire complex. It is a classicist building in the Tuscan style based on plans by building officer Bernhard Morell . The Bellevue was set up as a guest house by Ludwig I, who was still crown prince at the time. The cellar was used to store food for the bathers.

  • Badhotel in the Staatsbad Brückenau

The bath hotel was built as a bath building on behalf of King Ludwig I in 1823 according to the plans of the architect Leo von Klenze (1784–1864). The so-called “Old Bath House” attached to the Badhotel was built in 1901 according to the plans of the Munich court building councilor Eugen Drollinger.

  • Remise in the Staatsbad Brückenau

The elongated building was erected in 1827 as a coach house and stable building. King Ludwig I got involved in the planning of the building, rejected plans of the state administration of the royal palaces and gardens and commissioned the chief building officer Johann Nepomuk Pertsch (1780–1835) with the planning. The scheme of the listed complex goes back to closed baroque conceptions of four-wing courtyards and shows echoes of revolutionary architecture. In 2008 the coach house was completely renovated. Today it houses the state nursery with a depot.

  • Wernarz source temple in the Staatsbad Brückenau

The Wernarzer Quelle was founded in 1749 by Dr. Austrian, the city physician of Hammelburg, drilled out of a rock and appropriately captured in 1767 at the cost of 476 guilders. Today's source temple was built in 1911 as part of the expansion of the former foyer by court building officer Eugen Drollinger, as the old building from 1828 was dilapidated. The well construction is octagonal, eight pairs of columns support the dome with a bell roof. Paintings in the dome, window glazing and the decoration on the outer facade show Art Nouveau elements. Today the source temple is integrated into the foyer.

Parks

In 1747 the Italian court architect of the prince abbots of Fulda, Andrea Gallasini , designed a strictly symmetrical garden, the main feature of which was the central axis, which extends right through the state bath to this day.

In the course of time, additions to the building ensemble were made, in particular by King Ludwig I. This also involved enlargements of the garden. The baroque gardens were partially converted into an English garden. Despite many changing garden trends, the structure has been preserved to this day and is decisive for the park. In contrast to the unspoilt nature of the surrounding meadows and forests, it gives the ensemble a special charm.

The plantings today are based on their previous structure, which is also used for new plants and maintenance. The chestnuts of the avenue are cut strictly box-shaped according to the historical model. The arcade made of linden trees below the Fürstenhof also corresponds to the historical specifications. In the park there are old and rare trees, including the King Ludwig Oak , a "thousand-year-old oak" near the herb garden with a circumference of seven meters, as well as the ginkgo tree, the cucumber magnolia and the "oak-leaved hornbeam", a mutation admire. With the tree register drawn up in 1992, around 60 tree species are listed.
