Rupertus thermal baths

The Rupertustherme (spelling RupertusTherme ) is a brine bath in the Bavarian State Baths in Bad Reichenhall in the Berchtesgadener Land district .

The pool was built in 2005 according to plans by Rudolf Wienands and was later expanded to include a sports and family pool, which was opened in 2011. His namesake is Saint Rupert of Salzburg , patron saint of salt mining and salt workers and, according to legend, rediscoverers of the Reichenhaller brine springs . The brine springs are state-approved healing springs. Your brine is fed from the salt works directly into the Rupertus thermal baths to enrich the thermal water with a temperature of 32 to 40 degrees. Reichenhaller brine contains essential trace elements and a very high mineral content. There is also a special composition of calcium , silica and potassium .

The building

architecture

The architectural design for the Rupertustherme comes from Rudolf Wienands. He designed the modern building with a column construction along the facade without a uniformly large basic pattern. The ambience should combine “ancient worldview” and “modern pool technology” with the mountain world. The large window front in the main hall and the gallery on the first floor, which is glazed in three directions, offers a good view of the surrounding mountains.

Extension

After the Bad Reichenhall ice skating and swimming pool collapsed in 2006, the adjacent swimming pool was also demolished. In a referendum , the majority of the population voted in favor of building a new sports pool at the old location. The city ​​council ignored this decision and instead had the hall attached to the Rupertus thermal baths. The sports & family pool was opened in 2011. It is spatially and functionally separated from the thermal baths with its own entrance. The transition is possible in both directions. It is included in the price for visitors to the thermal baths, visitors to the sports and family pool must pay the difference in price to the thermal bath admission fee.

The entire Rupertusthermen complex has a net area of ​​around 18,900 square meters. The water area takes up 1,580 square meters.

The thermal baths area comprises 707 square meters of water and extends over three floors and an outdoor area. The salt content in the underground brine grotto is 12 percent, which is why the body is carried by the water, which relieves the muscles and can help alleviate rheumatism and back pain. In the sauna area , eight saunas and steam baths are spread over two floors with temperatures between 40 and 90 degrees and different humidity . The Laist and Salt Center focuses on the medicinal products salt, brine and Laist, a natural mineral brine mud from the Berchtesgaden salt mine . The wellness center comprises four dry and two wet massage rooms, a partner spa with relaxation tub and wet massage, a cosmetic room and a relaxation lounge. All treatments follow the tradition of the Reichenhall cure with brine, salt, mountain pine , gentian and moor. In addition to extensive equipment with modern training equipment with software support, the fitness center also has a 75 square meter, handicapped-accessible brine therapy pool. Therapy applications can be carried out within the framework of the medical or spa doctor's ordinance.
