    Tips

    A graduation tower is actually a facility for extracting salt. Later, it was also used for spa purposes. Breathing in the air, which also becomes slightly saline due to the saline water slowly trickling down through the densely layered brushwood, is good for the respiratory system. This graduation tower was rebuilt in 1989/90. It is 70 meters long and 11 meters high.

        In 1990, the town of Bad Oeynhausen built a graduation tower in the Sielallee. This can be circumnavigated on a dock and by inhaling the salty air, moisten the respiratory tract.

          The fine salt mist settles on the skin. It also has a healing effect.

            Here in the Sültewiesen on the Werre, a brine source was discovered for the first time in 1753. King Friedrich II ordered the construction of two graduation towers and a salt works. The graduation towers were used to concentrate the brine, since the water was atomized and evaporated here. The concentrated brine was then diverted to the salt works, where the remaining water was boiled. The salt was then processed directly in the local chemical factory. This is where the town of Neusalzwerk, named after the salt works, was founded, which belonged to Rehme. Salt production was shut down in 1928 and the graduation works were demolished. Since 1989 there has been a graduation tower for spa guests at its former location.

              The salty water of the Bülow fountain is pumped onto the graduation tower and from there trickles down again over tufts of black thorns.

                The graduation tower is a replica from 1989/90. It is not only used for outdoor inhalation, but also allows those interested to understand how highly concentrated brine is produced. Pure salt production was its original function.

                Salty water is pumped onto the graduation towers and then trickles down from there over bundles of blackthorn. Due to evaporation on its way down, the collected water has an increased salt content and can then be further processed into salt.

                An elevated path made of wooden planks leads around the saltworks. Sitting here or on numerous benches, you can breathe deeply and enjoy nature, surrounded by the salty haze.
