Heinrich Hasse (born February 5, 1791 in Salzuflen ; † May 3, 1868 ibid) was a German physician, medical councilor and city ​​physician in Salzuflen.

Heinrich Hasse was the son of a Salzufler merchant. He attended high school in Lemgo . While studying medicine and pharmacy, he got to know Ludwig Uhland , Gustav Schwab and Justinus Kerner . After completing his doctorate , he worked as a military doctor .

In 1817 he took up the position of city physician in his native city. He wrote a textbook for the training of midwives . On July 15, 1817, he submitted an application for the establishment of a bathing establishment to the Fürstlich Lippische Rentkammer in Detmold, which is responsible for the salt works .

“In more recent times the equality of the constituents of sea water and some salt pools led to the idea of ​​using the latter in the same way as the pool baths, and it was found that they produced the same beneficial effects. The water from the local saltworks ... has also been used to great effect. It would therefore be very desirable that ... facilities for bathing are made at the source. "

This request was complied with and the Rentkammer approved the money for five bathtubs, but not for a bathhouse. In the existing pump house above the Paulinenquelle on the Salzhof, a "Sol bathing establishment" was commissioned. In 1818 the bathing business was started under the medical supervision of Hasse. This is considered to be the beginning of the spa business for the Salzuflen spa .

In honor of Heinrich Hasse, the footpath on the former route of the Herford small railway was named Rat-Hasse-Promenade. Together with the arable citizen Peter and the pharmacist Rudolph Brandes , he is represented at the monument " Salzufler Lebensbaum ".
