Trinkhalle
Germany, Baden-Baden
Description
The Trinkhalle (Pump Room) in Baden-Baden is an elegant, neo-classical colonnade built in 1839-1842, designed by Heinrich Hübsch. The building served as a meeting place where visitors could drink the famous thermal waters of Baden-Baden, known for their healing properties.
The water from Baden-Baden's springs is rich in minerals, including sodium, chloride, lithium, and trace amounts of arsenic. It is particularly beneficial for digestive disorders, metabolic conditions, and respiratory ailments. The thermal waters emerge from depths of about 2,000 meters and reach temperatures of up to 68°C (154°F).
The Trinkhalle is also famous for its 14 magnificent frescoes depicting Black Forest legends, painted by Jakob Götzenberger. Today, it remains one of the town's architectural gems and continues to serve as a symbol of Baden-Baden's rich spa culture heritage.
