Badenweiler - Cassiopeia-Therme

The Romans discovered thermal water here and erected temples and an imposing bathhouse. After Germanic had taken over the Roman buildings fell into disrepair and served as a welcome stone supplier for new buildings. Even Margrave Karl Friedrich von Baden had stones removed from the ruins the renovation of his local office, but he rediscovered the Roman bath and stopped the misuse. This slowly started the career of Badenweiler as a spa. In 1875 the first public "marble bath" was built and balneological therapies were offered. Doctors were enthusiastic about the beneficial effects of a cure here and sent their patients here to convalesce. Badenweiler developed into a glamorous health resort, that attracted international visitors.

The "marble bath" from 1875 was built to welcome about 50 guests every day so with the rising fame of Badenweiler, it was soon too small. So 1906 - 1908 the bath got expanded according to designs by architects Ludwig Levy and August Stürzenacker. After another wing was added in 1928 it was named "Markgrafenbad". In 1958 the modern “New Bath House”, was inaugurated in 1958. In the 1970s the so-called domed bath was added again. After the modernisation 1994, it was renamed "Cassiopeia-Therme".
