Brunnenhalle, Historical spa building in Bad Kissingen, Germany.

Brunnenhalle is the 1911 replacement for an 1841 cast-iron pavilion by Friedrich von Gärtner, built entirely in masonry on the same spot at the south edge of the Kurgarten. It shelters the Rakoczy and Pandur springs in a lowered stone basin, with arcades and galleries around the central hall.

The iron Brunnenhalle was built from 1841 on the orders of King Ludwig I, following designs by Friedrich von Gärtner, and was inaugurated on 15 May 1842. It was Bavaria's first engineering structure and one of Germany's first buildings with a full cast-iron skeleton. In 1909 it was demolished and replaced on the same spot in 1911 by the present masonry Brunnen- und Wandelhalle.

This hall serves as a morning meeting point where visitors and locals gather to sample water from different mineral sources. The springs remain central to how people experience wellness and daily routine in this spa town.

The current hall replaced the iron Brunnenhalle in 1911 and shelters the Rakoczy and Pandur springs. Enter from the Kurgarten side, where the arcade connects; the two springs sit in a lowered basin reached by steps, so watch your footing on wet stone.

The iron hall was cast and assembled at the royal mining and smelting office in Bergen (Chiemgau), with 1,124 large cast pieces weighing 1,734 Bavarian hundredweight (about 97 tonnes). Its roof covering of iron sheet alone weighed 16 hundredweight and 15 pounds. The whole structure cost around 325,000 euros in today's money, paid by the Bavarian state.
