Passugg is located southeast of Chur at the entrance to Schanfigg and in the northernmost section of the municipality of Churwalden. The group of houses is located on a spur between the valley of the Plessur and the ravine of the Rabiusa (also called Rabiosa , German: the raging ), which is called Landwasser in German and flows into the Plessur below Passugg.

On the other side of the Rabiusa is Araschgen , which politically belongs to Chur. In terms of transport, Passugg is developed through Tschiertscherstrasse .

Denominations

Denominationally, the population is mixed and professes half of the Reformed and half of the Roman Catholic denomination.

The place became famous for its Passugger mineral water . The five springs in the Rabiosa Gorge were first mentioned in 1562 and rediscovered in the 19th century. Mineral water has been bottled and sold at the current location since 1951. In 1998, the Rheinfelder Feldschlösschen brewery , which in turn belongs to the Danish beer group Carlsberg in Copenhagen, acquired the majority stake. In 2000, the company was integrated into the Feldschlösschen Group together with the neighboring Bündner Rhäzünser mineral spring . In 2005, a group of local investors took over the two important Graubünden brands Allegra (Quellort Malix ) and Passugger (Quellort Passugg) from Feldschlösschen Getränke AG and transferred them to a purely Graubünden company, Allegra Passugger Mineralquellen AG. The company not only fills mineral water into beverage bottles, but also produces for the beverage industry. For example, As the cider Möhl from Arbon mineral water for its beverage production, including for Shorley ( apple juice ).

Kurhaus

Kurhaus Passugg around 1910

The healing springs of Passugg were rediscovered in 1863 by the Chur master saddler Ulrich Sprecher. The Kurhaus, built in 1883, has been extensively renovated twice due to the large number of visitors (elevator, electrical lighting, flush toilets). In 1910 the Kurhaus had 220 beds. A path led down into the gorge to the spring building with the pump room. The different springs allowed different cures depending on the composition of the water.

The spa operation was discontinued in 1979. The international Graubünden hotel and tourism school, Swiss School of Tourism and Hospitality , is now housed in the former Kurhaus . Until June 2011, the village had a primary school run as a day school. It also has the Fontana educational facility for the deaf .

One historical figure who died in the Kurhaus Passugg was August Bebel on August 13, 1913 . Two weeks earlier he had gone there for a cure on the advice of his doctor. He seemed to be on the mend, but then unexpectedly succumbed to a long-standing heart condition. The Swiss author Hans Peter Gansner, who lives in Geneva and Haute-Savoie (France), chose the hotel in a historical drama in 2013 as the venue for the encounter between Bebel and his daughter Frieda and contemporary fighters for socialism, supplemented by a prelude and epilogue, the plays in the 1960s.
