Dankeskirche Bad Nauheim

The 70m high Dankeskirche steeple is a true landmark of Bad Nauheim. On 21 June 1906, the church was consecrated in the presence of Grand Duke Ernst Ludwig of Hesse (1868-1937) after only two years of building it. Locating the site on the first convalescent and bathing facility of 1835 achieved a close connection to the history of the spa. With the commissioning of the bathing facilities, today’s Sprudelhof next to the Grand Fountain and the Friedrich-Wilhelm-Fountain, the original Kursaal had become redundant. After 13 years, the association in charge of church maintenance had raised sufficient funds to begin with its construction in this central place, so that it would be “accessible to the sick”.
