The Kurzentrum Ludwigstorff in the Lower Austrian market town of Bad Deutsch-Altenburg is a thermal baths and spa complex and is also known under the name Therme Carnuntum .
historical development
The mineral spring, already known in pre-Roman times, was used from 80 AD. captured by the Romans and built a thermal bath in the city of Carnuntum . The sources came into the possession of Charlemagne in 809 . During the first Turkish siege of Vienna , the spa, which was also frequented in the Middle Ages, was devastated and destroyed. On June 1, 1549, the permit to rebuild the wild bath in Deutsch-Altenburg was granted. The personal physician of Emperor Ferdinand II , Johann Wilhelm Mannagetta , wrote the Ludwigsdorffische Badbuch in 1634 , the 2nd edition of which appeared in 1710 and the 3rd edition in 1758 and in which the source and its chemical properties, the effects of the medicinal water and the medical indications were described . The Bad Deutsch-Altenburg was named the Hofbad.
In 1683 the spa was destroyed again during the Second Turkish Siege of Vienna under the orders of Kara Mustafa Pascha . Johann Rudolf Freiherr zu Ludwigstorff took over the manorial rule of Deutsch-Altenburg in 1706 together with the destroyed bathing facilities and the mineral spring, which was described in detail in the Polhaimisches Badebuch and in 1777 in the balneological book Die Gesundbrunnen der Austrian Monarchy . At the beginning of the 19th century, the spa was ailing, and after a fire in the bathhouse in 1826, the spa was almost extinguished.
On his initiative by the baron, the construction of a new spa center began in 1843. For this purpose, the Roman source shaft was deepened and a pumping station was installed. A modern spa and bathing center with a bathtub department supplemented the therapeutic offer with the healing spring. In 1826 the Kurhaus was destroyed by fire. Floods in the nearby Danube also repeatedly caused damage. It remained in the possession of the Ludwigstorff family until the lords were abolished in 1848.
During the First World War , the Lower Austrian Provincial Commission signed a contract with the owner of the iodine-sulfur bath in Bad Deutsch-Altenburg, Count Anton Ludwigstorff, for the orthopedic follow-up treatment of sick front-line soldiers.
In order to meet the increasing demand for medicinal water after the Second World War , the old spring shaft was restored and deepened to six meters. South of the Kurhaus, another well, the 20-meter-deep Kaiserbadbrunnen, was sunk in 1959 . In 1962 a decision was made to drill a 134 meter bore, the so-called Direction Fountain (Therme Carnuntum), in order to provide the Ludwigstorff spa center with sufficient medicinal water .
Due to the iodine-containing sulfur source, the spa center is suitable for spa and rehabilitation stays in the case of musculoskeletal and skin diseases . The iodine-sulfur content is likely to be the highest in any Austrian source. In addition, the spa center is now also a regional wellness center .
Medicinal springs and thermal fountains
The mineral springs of Bad German-Altenburg are regional geology observed in the eastern part of the Vienna Basin , which here from the Hainburg mountains is formed. The core of the Hainburg Mountains is a granite , which in the area of Bad Deutsch Altenburg is overlaid by Paleozoic slates and effluent rocks falling to the west and Middle Triassic , banked limestones and dolomites as well as Neogene sediments . Cold surface water seeps into the depths, is mineralized and heated up and can circulate in the carbonate rocks that are accessible by water . The source of the high sulfur content of the mineral spring leaching is Anhydrite the Upper Triassic Keuper considered that overlay the Middle Triassic carbonate rocks in the area. The mineral water has a spring temperature of 24 ° C with a total mineralization of 3.761 g / l and is therefore used as an iodine-containing sodium-calcium-chloride-hydrogen mineral thermal bath with high levels of trace elements (1.5 mg / l lithium ; 6.8 mg / l strontium , 4.9 mg / l boron , 5.9 mg / l fluorine , 3.6 mg / l bromine , 1.3 mg / l iodine ).
