History

Salzschlirf was first mentioned in the year 885. Just a few years ago was the year 812 as the date of the first historical mention of the town Bad Salzschlirf as Slirefa. But then sat down by the realization that the product named in a certificate Slirefa not Bad Salzschlirf, but Altenschlirf - meaning - now a part of Herb Stein. In records of 885 means the place mentioned Ulterior Slifera because he had seen of Altenschlirf ( Vetus Slirepha ) from below lies beyond the creek Slirefa. Thus, today's Bad Salzschlirf then got its name from the river on which it is located.

The development of the place was very early associated with saline sources. So already the abbots of Fulda won in the middle ages what was then important salt in the salt mines of Bad Salzschlirf. The Bonifaziusbrunnen was drilled in 1746 and helped Salzschlirf to its reputation as a spa. When the gout was still widespread and hardly treatable with medication, he was the most famous fountains gout Europe. Towards the end of the 18th century was the Fulda Prince Bishop Heinrich von Bibra drill the well deeper to increase the yield of the salt springs. This failed because groundwater entered the saline springs. 1798, the salt mines were closed.

On June 15, 1836 health ailing Count Friedrich Wilhelm von slot, called by Goertz ( 1793-1839 ), from the upper mountain and salt mining directorate in Kassel was invested with the fountain of Salzschlirf. The Bonifaziusquelle, the upper salt wells, was exposed again. In a neighboring house a bath was set up and this is filled with buckets from the source. A further expansion of the sources was omitted for the time being. But before his death, the Count had transferred the Lehnsrechte on his doctor and friend Eduard Martiny ( 1808-1876 ). This built in 1837 with the help of local farmers the bathing operation. In return for their support in developing the source Martiny granted the bathroom Salzschlirfer citizens the right to take there free water. This right applies today. 1838 Salzschlirf became a nationally recognized health resort.

The expansion of bath operation once exceeded the financial resources of the physician. So he sold the first wells to the state, but acquired it in 1873 and founded the union Bad Salzschlirf that henceforth the bath operation. After these came into financial difficulties, the bathroom was made in 1884, sold to Louis Weber, a Rhenish manufacturers.
