The Kurpark Bad Oeynhausen is a spa park in the center of the spa town incurred East Westphalian city of Bad Oeynhausen . The park, which was laid out in the middle of the 19th century based on a design by Peter Joseph Lenné , has since been redesigned and expanded several times.
history
Prussian times
The thermal brine bath of the Prussian mining captain Karl von Oeynhausen , licensed in 1845, was named "Royal Bath Oeynhausen" in 1848 by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV .
According to a main layout plan drawn up in 1847 by the General Director of the Royal Gardens in Prussia, Peter Joseph Lenné, a horseshoe-shaped park was created between 1851 and 1853, which was surrounded by a tree-covered avenue, the so-called Corso. In 1926, the Jordan Spring, located a little outside, was drilled, which reached a fountain height of up to 50 meters and has been the landmark of the spa park ever since.
Later redesigns
From 1945 the headquarters of the British Army in Germany used the spa gardens, which were fenced in with barbed wire. The Imperial Palace served as a canteen, the bathhouses as offices and storage rooms.
After the withdrawal of the British, the spa gardens were redesigned by Hermann Mattern from 1954 to 1969 according to plans that had been revised several times . The neo-baroque garden ground floor was dissolved and the geometric lines of sight and paths in the park removed. The Gollwitzer-Meier-Klinik, built in 1955 to replace the older spa buildings on Herford Street, interrupted Lenné's three-axis spa park access from Herford Street.
The Oeyne was created in 1954 as a watercourse delimiting the park . In the 1960s it was partially removed for the construction of the movement thermal bath, now the Bali-Therme, and the inclusion of the Jordan spring that was drilled south of the spa park in 1926 .
The expansion of the bathing and therapy building in the 1970s made a new overall concept for the park design necessary. From 1980, the park between the lobby and the spa theater was reconstructed based on a historical model. The main axis of the spa park was restored during the State Garden Show (LGS) in 2000. Since 2009 there has been a water fountain field in front of the Kurhaus. The spa park is now part of the European Garden Heritage Network (EGHN for short), the European garden network.
Development
The late Classicist bathhouse I, built by Carl Ferdinand Busse between 1854 and 1857, is the oldest preserved building in the spa gardens. Busse also designed the drinking pavilion built in 1860 . Since 1880 there was a wooden foyer to the east of the bathhouse. There is a memorial stone for Karl von Oeynhausen south of the bathhouse .
In the west of the spa park, the Protestant Church of the Resurrection was completed on the west parade in 1874, and the Catholic church of St. Peter and Paul in the east on the east parade according to plans by Friedrich August Stüler . The Church of the Resurrection was rebuilt in 1956 after a fire. Both neo-Gothic churches are now listed .
In the summer of 1885, the bathhouse II, built in the neo-renaissance and neo-baroque styles, was inaugurated. The H-shaped building made of red brick with an octagonal dome originally housed 39 bath cells to expand the capacity of the spa. The neo-renaissance building of the royal spa administration built in 1903 later served as the guest house . It is a listed building.
The Imperial Palace, modeled on the outside of a baroque palace and on the inside of the Paris Opera , was opened as a representative spa building on the highest point of the spa park. Today the building is used by the GOP Varieté - Theater Kaiserpalais . Reinhold Hoemann laid out a large ground floor in front of the Kaiserpalais . A broad axis with a fountain in the middle connected the imperial palace and the foyer.
The spa theater was built in 1915 based on the model of Neuwied Monrepos Castle in the late Baroque style . The now listed building on a small hill in the park received an enlarged foyer during a renovation in 1980 so that it can be used all year round. In 1926 a new drinking and foyer in the form of a six-column Ionic temple with an 84 m long promenade was inaugurated.
