NO. 114 DER KOCHBRUNNEN (SEITE) \"BOIL FOUNTAIN) WIESBADEN, Germany not mentioned in title. --Below additional information on Kochbrunnen and Wiesbaden, Germany
Wiesbaden has a long history as a spa town. The Romans already knew of the thermal springs of Wiesbaden. The name of the city is derived fromWisibada, the bathing place in the meadows. In 1810, the first spa house was built byChristian Zais.This was a beautiful but relatively modest building with a columned portico, including Doric and Ionic features,inclassicalstyle.Johann Wolfgang von Goethepraised the building on one of his many visits. During the 19th century, the benefits of the spa attracted the upper classes. The number of spa visitors, 20,000 in 1840, had increased tenfold by 1910.
TheKochbrunnen(in German: boil fountain) inWiesbadenis the most famoushot springin city. It is asodium chloridehot spring. Its name refers to the water temperature of about 66°C.
The spring in theKochbrunnenplatzwas first mentioned in 1366 as Bryeborn (Brühborn) and 1536 as Syedenborn (Siedeborn). The productivity is about 360 litres every minute. The fountain has well water when exiting, at a temperature of 66.1°C, smells faintly of hydrogen sulphide and has a strong salty taste. It is clear, but becomes turoffer yellowish after 24 hours exposed to the air. The main flow is directed to the processing plant in the Kaiser-Friedrich-Bad. From there it passes into the extensive thermal water system of the city. It is used both for medicinal purposes (including in the hot springs inAukammtal), as well as to heat thecity hall.
A larger, more modern and more impressive spa house was thus required. In 1905–07, the old spa building was demolished, and in its place a new building, designed by architectFriedrich von Thiersch, was erected at a cost of six milliongold marks.At the opening ceremony, KaiserWilhelm II, who visited the spa every year in May and had facilitated the rebuilding, called it \"the most beautiful spa building in the world\".The two concert halls in the building are named after the builders, the larger hall Friedrich von Thiersch Hall, and the smaller one Christian Zais Hall. Since 1949, the main portion of the Wiesbaden Casino has also been located in the building, in the former wine hall.During the 1980s, the Kurhaus underwent an extensive renovation, and was equipped with modern conference
