Ensemble of Bad Brückenau spa facilities
The ensemble spa facilities in Bad Brückenau , a town in the Lower Franconian district of Bad Kissingen , is an architectural ensemble , under monument stands.
The healing springs discovered in 1747 led under the prince abbots of Fulda Amand von Buseck and Heinrich von Bibra to the establishment of a health resort independent of the city of Brückenau.
On both sides of a main avenue that crosses the Sinntal and directed from north to south, pavilions were built by 1749 and a transverse building with ancillary buildings as an eye-catcher on the northern slope . The main features of this facility remained decisive for the expansion of the bath under Ludwig I and until the beginning of the 20th century.
From the baroque buildings, the elevated transverse structure, today's Fürstenhof, and a pavilion, the so-called Hirsch House , have been preserved. Around 1830 the west side was enlarged and reoriented on a transverse axis with the construction of the late classical Kursaal and the buildings flanking it, the Badhotel and the Elisabethenhof. In addition to this, the magnificent neo-baroque building of the spa hotel was built around 1900 on the opposite side .
Some pavilion-like villas, built after 1900 and symmetrically arranged in relation to the main axis, document the attempt of the Art Nouveau period to get closer to the main features of the original layout of the 18th century. To the south, the main avenue joins the classicist so-called basement building from the years 1818/19, designed as a closure.
