Kurhaus Bad Neuenahr, Cultural heritage monument and casino in Bad Neuenahr-Ahrweiler, Germany

Kurhaus Bad Neuenahr is a 170-metre-long neo-baroque building on the Felix-Rütten-Straße directly by the Ahr, completed in 1905 to plans by Cologne architect Oscar Schütz. Its centre is the great festival and theatre hall with 700 parquet and 300 balcony seats, around which the other rooms are grouped. The south side has a main entrance with a two-tower façade, rare for a secular building in Germany; a vestibule and stair lead to the foyer, with a garden hall and terraces to the south and west.

Built to plans by Cologne architect Oscar Schütz and completed in 1905, the Kurhaus cost the Aktiengesellschaft Bad Neuenahr one million Goldmark and was intended to rival spa towns such as Baden-Baden. Its large festival hall held 700 parquet and 300 balcony seats, and the Spielbank Bad Neuenahr was housed in the building. From 1951 to 1958 the Bundespresseball took place here, moving to Bonn only after the Beethovenhalle was finished. The 2021 Ahr flood badly damaged the building, and the casino reopened at Bad Neuenahr station.

The casino housed in the Kurhaus carried the name Spielbank Bad Neuenahr; after the 2021 flood it reopened in Bad Neuenahr's railway station. The 700 parquet and 300 balcony seats of the Festsaal hosted the Bundespresseball from 1951 to 1958, until the Beethovenhalle in Bonn was finished.

The building stands on Felix-Rütten-Straße directly on the Ahr, with the main entrance on the south side through the two-tower façade; the vestibule and stair lead up to the foyer and the Fest- und Theatersaal behind it. The Gartensaal and the south and west terraces adjoin the central block. The casino has moved to Bad Neuenahr station, so gaming is no longer inside the Kurhaus.

The casino that operated inside the Kurhaus moved after the 2021 Ahr flood: it reopened in Bad Neuenahr's railway station, so the gaming rooms are no longer in the 1905 building. The flood also damaged the Kurhaus itself, which is a protected monument on the Felix-Rütten-Straße.
