Solbrunnen (Bad Soden)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The brine fountain in the Quellenpark

The Solbrunnen is a state-recognized healing spring in Bad Soden am Taunus in the Main-Taunus district and forms the core of the spring park .

history

The first mention of the fountain goes back to the year 1567. At that time the brine source was checked by the Frankfurt magistrate. Then the water was passed on to the saltworks graduation house in order to extract salt there. From 1854 the spring was used as a spa and drinking fountain. In 1856 the spring was re-edged and it was moved to its current location. In 1862 a small pavilion was built in the immediate vicinity. Here, under a doctor's prescription, goat whey was mixed with the water, which had a laxative effect.

The Sodenia Pavilion was erected along with the Sodenia statue in 1888. The statue comes from the Soden sculptor Adam Henrich (1854–1909). The Sodenia statue is one of the city's landmarks. The brine fountain is a fluoride and carbonic acid containing sodium chloride thermal bath.
