About Thermarium Bad Schönborn
When the Lambertus spring began to flow in 1970, master carpenter Wilhelm Thome knocked together a wooden bathing tub that made headlines across Germany as the Bad Schönborn "Sexkübel". The Thermarium itself opened on 14 February 1975, planned by the Stuttgart architects Geier und Geier, and the strong colours in the thermal brine hall still show the hand of the artist Otto Herbert Hajek. The water is clear and colourless, smells faintly of sulphur and tastes strongly salty, a little bitter. The operator says the name joins "thermae", the warm bath, with "mare", the salty sea.
