Unfortunately, the drinking spa is currently a major construction site 🙁

The drinking spa complex is an impressive architectural legacy from the Art Nouveau period of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Even today, you can stroll through the curved colonnades, sample the healing waters, and enjoy culture.Like the Sprudelhof, the drinking spa complex was designed by the architect Wilhelm Jost. It consists of several colonnades arranged in a horseshoe shape around a large basin and an orchestra shell. The jewel of the building ensemble is the octagonal spa fountain temple, which, with its spring casing, was once elevated to the status of the "baptistery of healing waters."The adjacent drinking hall is also reminiscent of an ancient thermal bath or early Christian church. The focal point of the drinking hall is the gilded spring tap, where healing water from three springs is usually brought together and dispensed. Due to renovation work, the spring tap is closed for an extended period. The drinking spa is a vivid testament to Bad Nauheim's history as a world-renowned spa. The impressive architecture pays tribute to the healing power of the water through its lavish design and meticulous attention to detail. Not only the healing waters, but also the visually appealing ambiance of the drinking hall, were intended to contribute significantly to well-being.
Today, the drinking spa is much more than just a tasting of healing waters. Spa concerts, festivals, and other events take place here throughout the year. Art can also be experienced in the "Gallery in the Drinking Spa." Exhibitions are regularly held there.bad-nauheim.de/de/erlebnisreich/sehenswertes/trinkkuranlage-heilquellen
