List of former German health resorts
This list contains previous health resorts in Germany that were once awarded the title of health resort or climatic health resort or were recognized by the state, but which are currently not recognized by the German Spa Association and / or not currently recognized by the state due to changed external conditions, incorporation or cessation of the health resort Predicate as a health resort or climatic health resort. Some of these places still traditionally continue to use the term health resort or climatic health resort in the place name or for tourist advertising purposes.
In the Federal Republic of Germany, it is currently recognized or designated as a health resort in the individual federal states by the responsible ministry. The basis for this is usually a so-called health resort law or, in the federal states of Bavaria, Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt and Schleswig-Holstein, corresponding ordinances, which may have been supplemented by decrees. Almost the same type of recognition bases exist in all German territorial states, whereby recognition as a health resort can refer to a municipality as well as only part of the municipality. In the recognition or rating as a health resort, the definitions of terms - quality standards for the rating of health resorts, recreation areas and healing fountains of the German Spas Association e. V. and the German Tourism Association e. V. implicitly or explicitly included.
In almost all German territorial states, state recognition as a health resort is the most important prerequisite for collecting a visitor's tax or tourist tax .
