history

The Mehrner Heilquelle has been known for several hundred years. This mineral healing spring, which today gives the Mehrner medicinal water its justification, is brought into close association with the St. Bartholomew Church in the Mehrn district in Brixlegg because of its origin.

The medicinal water was first mentioned in writing in 1267. A spring from which clear, rich, tasty water gushes with special content. The church built over the spring was first mentioned in a document in 1357. In 1661 it was expanded by order of the Salzburg consistory.

The newly built church was consecrated in 1698 in honor of St. Bartholomew, the 14 helpers in need gain great veneration as secondary patrons, and the spring is known as the "Fourteen Water Helpers".

At the beginning of the 19th century, the spring behind the altar was sunk due to the numerous water withdrawals. However, the healing water found a new outlet at the foot of the church hill. Around 1863, the spring was rediscovered during excavation work and the water enjoyed great popularity as a source of health.

In 1863 the decision was made to consciously use this healing water as a fountain of health for body and soul - Heilbad Mehrn was founded. The first bathing establishment was officially opened in 1869. It is in the Tyrolean spa and health resort directory from 1900 and in the official Österr. Bath books from 1914 and 1928 included. Due to this long bathing tradition and the investigations of the healing spring and spa facilities by F. Scheminzky in 1954, 1963 and 1966, the Tyrolean state government decreed the spring as a cold calcium-magnesium-sulphate-hydrogen carbonate mineral spring, in the sense of June 26, 1966 of § 30 Paragraph 2 of the current Tyrolean mineral springs and health resorts law still recognized.

In 2002, the expansion of a deep well for the healing spring and drainage of the water obtained to a bottling plant for the distribution of the Mehrner healing water was completed.
