Fuessing SPA in Germany: The most popular thermal spa resort in the world celebrates its 70th anniversary
Fuessing SPA - The history of Fuessing Spa sounds like a modern fairy tale. What first seemed like an unsuccessful drilling for mineral oil in 1938, quickly turned out to be a great success for the small village of Fuessing in the heart of Bavaria: What had been found was a hot, curative natural spring.In 1947, almost ten years later, American soldiers stationed in Germany after the Second World War heard about the hot spring. They opened the so-called "Pearl Bath" on its grounds, named after the commander of the camp, David Pearl.
This was the beginning of an unprecedented success story: the story of the rise of the small Bavarian village of Fuessing, with 38 inhabitants at the time, into the most popular health resort in Europe and the most visited spa in the world - Fuessing Spa.Record: 1.6 million visitors per year
Fuessing spa offers to its 1.6 million visitors a year Germany's most extensive thermal spa area. 2.45 million overnight stays a year make Fuessing Spa the number one spa among the 1,000 medicinal spas in Europe and rest of the world. Fuessing Spa is also the flagship spa of the Bavarian Golf and Spa region, located 100 miles east of Munich. Europe's most popular health resort offers its guests a total of 130,000 square feet of bathing areas in three large thermal spa resorts and numerous hotels which have access to their very own thermal water supplies. More than 10,000 spa visitors can comfortably enjoy the pools for health training, fun and recreational activities at the same time.
Joint problems and stress reduction: Fuessing offers legendary healing power
The secret of the incomparable expansion of Fuessing Spa is the legendary sulphurous thermal mineral water which rises to surface from more than 3,000 feet at a temperature of 133 F (56 C). The special composition of the water is considered to be highly effective when it comes to rheumatism and joint diseases. It helps speed up the healing of bone, joint and muscle injuries. In a study involving several thousand patients, 90 percent of the participants reported a noticeable alleviation of their pain, 70 percent reported a significant improvement in the mobility of the spine and joints after the thermal therapy.
In the US Fuessing Spa still benefits from the reputation of"Pearl Bath"
Fuessing Spa is popular with guests from all over the world today. The list of countries from where visitors hail ranges from Austria to Burundi and from Australia to the UK. Visitors from the United States figure traditionally among the ten leading countries of provenance.
