history
As early as 1971, a thermal bath was built on Viktoriaallee in Bad Ems, which was named "Emser Therme" after a renovation and expansion in 1994. The old bath was also supplied with thermal water from the Robert-Kampe-Sprudel, which was drilled through a hole in 1955, and had 1200 m² of water, a sauna area and medical massage departments. The Staatsbad Bad Ems GmbH was the owner and operator. After it was closed on December 15, 2010, the building was completely dismantled from January to March 2011 and construction of the new Emser Therme began in spring 2011. After about a year of construction, the topping-out ceremony was celebrated on March 5, 2012. Around 1 ½ years after the groundbreaking ceremony, the opening took place in the presence of the Rhineland-Palatinate Interior Minister Roger Lewentz on December 19, 2012.

architecture
The Emser Therme was built according to plans by the Stuttgart office 4a Architekten . Due to the direct location on the Lahn , a central design theme was the river pebble. The round structure, swimming pool, various facade openings and the interior wall design are based on the rounded shapes of the river pebbles. The facades consist of white aluminum sheet, wooden cladding and glass elements. The interior design is characterized by rounded shapes, warm colors and natural materials.
Thermal water
Bad Ems as a recognized health resort has 15 different healing springs that have been used since Roman times. The mineral-thermal sources of Bad Ems are of profound disturbances of a Variscan applied saddle structure , the source saddle attached, which is open behind the spa. In the crevices and crevices of the Lower Devonian Ems quartzite, warm acidulas rise from a depth of 2.5 to 3.5 km, which in the Lahn valley predominantly emerge artesian . One of the main springs is the Robert-Kampe-Sprudel, which at 57.2 ° C is one of the warmest springs in Germany and is used in the Emser Therme. The thermal spring was developed through a 72.9 meter deep borehole and is now one of the most important thermal springs in the health resort. The thermal water used is rich in minerals and trace elements , u. a. Fluoride , strontium , lithium and barium and is also used to manufacture the Emser pastilles . The hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO 3 ) make up the largest proportion . With 4.16 g / l total solution content, the Emser healing water is hydrochemically characterized as a fluoride-containing sodium chloride hydrogen thermal bath. Thanks to its composition, which is rich in minerals and trace elements, the thermal water is suitable for various diseases, e.g. B. the respiratory tract, the skin, the joints and the heart, vascular and circulatory system.
criticism
The construction of the Emser Therme was classified as a waste of taxpayers' money by the Rhineland-Palatinate audit office .
