Therme Bad Wörishofen, Spa and tourist attraction in Bad Wörishofen, Germany.
Therme Bad Wörishofen is a large thermal bath, sauna, and water park in Bad Wörishofen, Bavaria. It offers indoor and outdoor pools, several sauna cabins, and rest areas spread under a broad glass roof.
The first plans for a thermal bath in Bad Wörishofen date to 1994; after disputes and a citizens' petition, investor Josef Wund presented his scheme in 2001. The first sod was turned on 12 July 2001, the foundation stone laid on 30 May 2003, and the 260-tonne glass dome set in place on 22 October 2003. The bath opened on 1 May 2004.
Bad Wörishofen is closely tied to Sebastian Kneipp, the priest who developed his water cure here in the 19th century. The thermal complex carries that tradition forward in a town where water treatments remain part of everyday life.
The pool area and the sauna section have separate entrances, and the sauna area follows a clothing-free convention. Bringing your own towel and robe can save time, though rentals are available on site.
The 260-tonne glass dome over the thermal area was lifted onto its steel frame on 22 October 2003, during the topping-out ceremony. It rises 18 metres above the pools, while the dome over the sauna area weighs 105 tonnes and reaches 10 metres. The thermal water is drawn from a depth of 1,100 metres at 37 °C.
