Sprudelhof Bad Nauheim, Art Nouveau sanatorium complex in Bad Nauheim, Germany.
Sprudelhof Bad Nauheim is a bathing complex with six separate buildings holding around 265 bathing cells arranged in courtyards with fountains. Administrative buildings and connection to the adjacent Kurpark complete the ensemble.
Construction took place between 1905 and 1911 following Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse's plan for a contemporary health resort. This period marked the transformation of Bad Nauheim into a modern spa destination.
The interior features blue-glazed tiles paired with terracotta reliefs showing water-themed and mythological designs. These decorative choices shape how visitors experience the bathing areas today.
The mineral water sources are located 200 meters underground and reach temperatures between 30 and 33 degrees Celsius. Visitors can explore the different bathing spaces at their own pace to make the best use of the site.
The ensemble ranks among Europe's largest surviving Art Nouveau complexes, featuring ceramic masks and fountains integrated throughout the buildings. This artistic richness makes it an uncommon example of early spa architecture from that era.
