The development of the spa park is closely linked to Hamm as a spa town and the title “Bad Hamm”. In 1883, a brine spring was discovered and it was decided to channel the brine near the former Bürgerschützenhof and to build a bathhouse and a lodging house for festivities, receptions or spa concerts. The lodging house was built in 1898 by the Iserlohn architect G. Leppin as the head building of the first Schützenhalle. The narrow, rectangular structure with a total of seven axes and elaborate cement stucco decoration in the center is representative. The south front is characterized by a small tower-like staircase. The current name “Kurhaus” prevailed in 1932 when the city took over the hall operation. It has been a listed building since 1996. A glass multifunctional hall complements the architectural language of the neighboring Kurhaus with its Art Nouveau facade. In the tradition of spa concerts, the spa park received a new music pavilion in 2009. The spa park also contains the graduation tower, which continues the old tradition of the brine bath. The moist, salty air produced here has a positive effect on the respiratory system. Source: https://www.hamm.de/schloesser-parks-herrenhaueser/parks/kurpark

The Hamm lock is a lock on the federal waterway Datteln-Hamm Canal in Hamm. It was built between 1912 and 1914 and, together with the Werries lock above it, enables the canal to be used from Hamm to Schmehausen. The West German Canals Waterways and Shipping Authority is responsible for its operation and maintenance.

The first section of the Datteln-Hamm Canal, including the Hamm lock, was opened to traffic with 600 ton ships on July 17, 1914. In 1926, work began on extending the canal from Hamm to Schmehausen. In 1930, the first pile-driving of sheet piles was carried out to build the Werries lock. After the lock was completed, ship traffic began on the second section of the DHK to Schmehausen on August 23, 1933. The planned extension to Lippstadt was never realized due to a lack of traffic demand. Today, 43 different bridges, 30 culvert structures, 36 pipe and cable culverts cross the DHK over a length of 47.19 km. Two safety gates ensure that the entire canal does not run dry in the event of a disaster. With the help of the two Hamm and Werries locks, shipping is able to bridge a height difference of 6.75 m. Furthermore, the DHK serves as a feed channel for the West German canal network by taking water from the Lippe near Hamm.

Exciting contrasts between listed architecture, ancient giant trees and modern park design characterize the face of the Bad Hamm spa park. On a walk through the complex you will discover many traces of the time when the city of Hamm was a spa town, for example the historic spa house. A graduation tower also reminds us of the tradition of healing treatments, although it was only built in 2009. Today the green area with its wide meadows, a playground and the walking paths around the spa ponds and on the banks of the Datteln-Hamm canal is a popular local recreation area. In summer, concerts and the spa park festival take place on the grounds. Shortly before Christmas you can get in the mood for the holidays with the "Advent Lights".

The bridge goes over the Hamm-Datteln canal and is just before the weir at Werries.

Immediately above the Werries lock at canal kilometer 40.6 is the Schulweg-Steg, one of the most remarkable pedestrian suspension bridges in Germany, which crosses the Datteln-Hamm canal. The bridge was planned and completed between 1915 and 1917. The steel suspension structure consists of riveted band belts that are attached to the stiffening girder at both ends, thus forming a self-anchored suspension bridge. The model for this construction was the youngest and longest suspension bridges in Germany at the time, the Kaiser Bridge in Breslau and the Chain Bridge over the Rhine near Cologne.
