The graduation buildings were once used to extract salt. They date from the 18th century, a time when the Nauheim Saline was one of the most modern salt factories in Europe. Then as now, the process is the same: the saline water (brine) from the spring is pumped up to the graduation towers. There it slowly flows down the up to ten meter high walls of blackthorn bundles. The wind and sun cause part of the water to evaporate and the salinity increases. The fine saline droplets that form in the evaporation process and are blown away by the wind are then perceived as a fresh sea breeze. With the realization that the salt crystals in the air (aerosols) have a positive effect on our health, the five remaining graduation buildings in Bad Nauheim received their current purpose as open-air inhalatories.
