Mineral bath mountain
The Berg Mineralbad in Stuttgart-Ost was opened in 1856 by the royal court gardener Friedrich Neuner as "Bath at the Royal Park" in what is now the Stuttgart spring protection area. The "Berg" is one of three mineral baths in Stuttgart (next to the mineral bath Leuze and the mineral bath in Bad Cannstatt ). The people of Stuttgart refer to the Berg Mineralbad colloquially as the “Neuner” or the “Berg”. 5 million liters of natural mineral water flow daily from five springs into the four large indoor and outdoor pools with water temperatures of 22 ° C to 34 ° C and a total water surface of 1,380 m². Due to the high volume of the springs, there is no need for chlorination , circulation or water treatment .
history
In 1508 a new mill was built on the Nesenbach near Nißle- / Karl-Schurz-Straße. When the so-called Bachmühle ceased operations at the beginning of the 19th century, the Stuttgart cotton manufacturer Karl Bockshammer bought the site and set up the first mechanical cotton spinning mill in Württemberg there in 1810. Since a constant flow of water was necessary for the operation of the spinning machines, but the Nesenbach sometimes carried more and sometimes less water, Bockshammer had spring water drilled between 1830 and 1853 . After all, a total of five mineral springs were found at a depth of 45 meters , which poured their water into a lake on the surface of the earth.
On June 29, 1856, Friedrich Neuner opened the "Stuttgarter Mineral-Bad bei Berg". This bath had a brick swimming pool from the beginning and is therefore the oldest swimming pool in Stuttgart that still exists today . For a long time it was even the largest mineral swimming pool in Germany.
The Berg Mineralbad was family-owned for 149 years and became the property of the City of Stuttgart at the turn of the year 2005/2006.
The pool has been closed for general renovation since September 26, 2016. The renovation costs are estimated at around 30 million euros. In March 2018 it became known that the work would be delayed by a year until mid-2020 due to the defective source pipe and that it would be around one million euros more expensive than planned.
