the royal bog baths with outbuildings for bog preparation
was built between 1903 and1905.
the official opening took place on may 8, 1905.
built in the art nouveau style, the building was considered
avant-garde and, due to the choice of materials used, also
luxurious.
the bath cells were furnished with marble, mettlacher tiles
and terrazzo.
the entrance hall also impressed with magnificent stucco
reliefs and stained glass motifs.
since 1945 there have been repeated changes in the
development and structure of the building parts in
different periods.
the bathing operation in the moor bath ran until 2012.
except for the apartments in the middle section, the
building has been empty since then and was left to decay.
the front section of the building, which now had to be
renovated in the first construction phase, and the clock
tower on the slope are designated as a cultural
monuments.
when planning began in 2017, the building complex was
in great need of renovation and partially in danger of
collapsing.
planning of the new moorbadehaus.
the external appearance of the building is basically
maintained towards the park. conversion, refurbishment
and extension will be carried out tin several construction
phases.
in the first construction phase, first half of 2018, the
facade facing the park was renovated, the entrance hall
including the bathroom facilities was converted.
in the subsequent construction phases, flats and
apartments are planned in the side wings and in the attic,
as well as a conversion of the entire rear part of the
building into a classic car museum with an attached craft
beer restaurant.
inside, the aim was to create free space for a various uses
by means of reduction. highest quality materials and
exceptional workmanship are not only found in
architecture, but also in the lighting design.
thus, architecture, interior design and lighting design enter
into a perceptible symbiosis, which makes the rooms shine
in an unprecedented brilliance.
