Instead of a large inauguration ceremony, the iodine sulfur bath was only opened on a small scale. And the first bathers were already there.
Bad Wiessee - “The first official day with our bathers went well. It will take a little while until everything will be perfect. But we feel very comfortable, ”said Renate Zinser, head of iodine sulfur bath, after she had received the around 20 guests of honor. After four years of planning and construction, the large opening ceremony planned for April 15 had to be postponed due to the corona and now took place in a small group.
Zinser was particularly pleased that the concept of individual support, which was the basis for the architectural planning, not only worked in real operation, but was also the reason that the bathing facility met the current hygiene regulations due to the 14 individual cabins and was therefore able to start. Other companies in which the baths take place in large pools cannot yet do so. "Our unique selling point proves us right in times of Corona," she said, emphasizing that this is also why she is now hoping for a large influx. The healing waters from the Wilhelmina and Adrianus springs have a stimulating and rejuvenating effect on the immune system.
"The bathroom is something very special," agreed Mayor Robert Kühn. He was particularly pleased that due to the many discussions and the long planning of the new iodine sulfur bath, the facility really belongs to the place today. "It's the Bad Wiessee bath," he emphasized happily. In the past, in the opinion of the citizens of Wiessee, it was only the bath of the Dutch. Kühn therefore thanked the local council and his predecessor in the mayor's office for the groundbreaking and courageous decisions that now led to this lighthouse project.
Iodine bath opening in Bad Wiessee: "We did everything right"
Former Mayor Peter Höß then looked proudly at the light, transparent building according to the plans of star architect Matteo Thun, around whom everything seems to be flowing: "The great architecture is like balm for the soul", he said meaningfully and looked at the Project progress back. “It was not an easy decision in 2015 to build the bathroom ourselves as a community. And if the calculations at the time had not turned out to be lower than they ultimately turned out to be, we would not have dared to do so, "admits Höß and said with a view to the new building, the source remediation and the healing water treatment:" We did everything right. "
District Administrator Olaf von Löwis wished the new bath many guests and a powerful, never-ending bubbling of the two 300,000-year-old healing springs. In view of this age, the 19 months of construction time would be relatively short. Architect Thun himself had not come to the opening scheduled for the short term, but instead project manager Matthias Marscher from the Munich-based architectural firm Hirner and Riehl. He did not want the modern architecture of the building to be understood as a contrast to the traditional construction in the Tegernsee valley, but rather as a connection and in communication with it. An impressive overall result was achieved. The opening guests were able to convince themselves of this after Pastor Ute Kopp-von Freymann and Pastor Wieland Steinmetz asked for "healing and healing" for the visitors and the divine blessing for the building.
