history
The building, which consists of gable walls, sandstone and wooden construction, was built in 1851 by the architect Knorr as a single-storey gable roof structure.
The construction of the brine reservoir had become necessary when, in the first half of the 19th century, mud and brine baths were also offered in Kissingen in addition to drinking cures. In 1837, the architect Friedrich von Gärtner laid a cast-iron brine pipe from the Upper Saline to Salinenstrasse. From there, the brine was brought to the individual spa houses in vats. Around 1870 a new line was built that led from the Upper Saline directly into the Luitpoldbad in what is now the Luitpoldpark .
