The Hubertusinsel , also known as the Große Salzstrominsel , is an island in the Bode in the urban area of Thale in Saxony-Anhalt .
location
It is located southwest of the city at the northern exit of the Bodetal and is surrounded by two arms. The smaller western arm of the body is known as the salt ditch . It covers about 2.8 hectares and extends in north-south direction over about 350 meters with a maximum width of about 85 meters. To the north of the island was the Small Salt Stream Island . The Hubertus spring, which contains radon, rises on the Hubertusinsel .
In the south of the island, the Hubertus Bridge , coming from the east, connects the island with the rest of the city of Thale. In the extension of the Hubertus Bridge to the west, the salt ditch is also bridged. A bridge over the salt ditch to the west also connects the island with the valley station of the Bodetal cable car .
history
In 1836 the forester Karl Daude bought the island. He made sure that the spring was used as a healing spring. He had the first permanent buildings erected on the island, which were used for bathing and spa operations. The name Hubertusinsel goes back to Daude, who was also active as a hunter. The island was designed like a park. In 1872 Marcel von Sieben took over . The Villa Diana and buildings for the hotel and restaurant were built on the island . The park was expanded. In 1883/84 the writer Theodor Fontane stayed in the hotel and on the island.
The hotel and restaurant were demolished in 1932, the spa and bathing operations were largely discontinued at the end of the Second World War and finally ceased in 1986. The buildings were removed. At the beginning of the 2000s, Villa Diana , only preserved as a fire ruin, was demolished. A playground with smaller rides was created.
On December 27, 2013, during a storm, a large oak tree fell on the bridge connecting the island with the western cable car station, which was severely damaged.
In 2015, after larger trees were felled, a so-called fun island with rides, especially for children, was set up on the island.
