The Krumbad is the oldest health spa in Swabia with more than 600 years of bath tradition. It is situated in the heart of Central Swabia not far from Krumbach. The quiet and secluded location in the middle of soft hills of the alpine upland with wide-stretching woods and meadows invites you to idyllic walks or hikes<\/p>\n
In 1390<\/strong> the jealous knight Ulrich von Ellerbach locked his wife Adelheid because of an assumed adultery into a barn which he put on fire. On the very spot where the knight burned the pious woman in the barn, a spring appeared which thereupon become the curative spring of the \u201cBad zu Lechsenried\u201d.<\/p>\n In 1418<\/strong> Wilhelm Sartor of Ursberg bought the \u201eBad zu Lexenried\u201c. Until the secularisation in 1802, the bath remained the property of the imperial monastery Ursberg.<\/p>\n In 1595<\/strong> already 120 diseases were recorded which this bath mixed with gypsum (\u201cdi\u00df Bad vermisch with Gypss\u201d) could heal. The physician Dr. Ruland from Lauingen had the first advertising poster printed on this topic. (today in the libraryof Nancy)<\/p>\n In 1633<\/strong> the Krumbad was almost completely destroyed during the Thirty Years\u2019 War; everything including the three bath tanks was stolen.<\/p>\n In 1758<\/strong> a bath history of the Krumbad was printed by the Electoral Mainz\u2019 court counsellor and medical attendant D. Joseph Ignatius von Bingen showing the results of an examination of the Krumbad Badstein and its healing powers. Further scientific reports with examinations of the spring and the siliceous peloid \u201cKrumbad Badstein\u201d were continuously conducted up until today and resulted in the state recognition as Peloid Health Spa Businnes (2001).<\/p>\n In 1802<\/strong> the Krumbad became Bavarian; it became part of the assets of the Elector Maximilian of Bavaria.<\/p>\n In 1812<\/strong> the merchant and mayor of Augsburg, Christoph von Zabuesnig, bought the Krumbad.<\/p>\n In 1832<\/strong> Wolfgang Gresser took over the bath in exchange with an estate in Ursberg. His son Eugen Gresser sold it in 1891 to Dominikus Ringeisen, founder of the Ursberg instituition. Therewith a new rise of the bath began. New buildings and improvements followed.<\/p>\n From 1940 – 1945<\/strong> bishop Dr. Johannes Baptista Sproll found refuge from the Nazis in the Krumbad after he was banished from his diocese in Rottenburg. During both World Wars the Krumbad was used as a special military hospital for soldiers suffering from rheumatism.<\/p>\n In 1981<\/strong> the Health Spa Krumbad GmbH was founded. Since then the shareholders are the St. Josef\u2019s congregation in Ursberg, the district of Swabia, the district of G\u00fcnzburg and the city of Krumbach.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” column_structure=”1_4,1_4,1_4,1_4″][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/krumbad.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/St-Josefskongregation_Logo.jpg” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”St-Josefskongregation_Logo” url=”https:\/\/www.st-josefskongregation-ursberg.de\/” url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/krumbad.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Stadt-Krumbach_Logo.jpg” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”Stadt-Krumbach_Logo” url=”https:\/\/www.krumbach.de\/” url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/krumbad.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Landkreis_Gunzburg_Logo.jpg” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”Landkreis_G\u00fcnzburg_Logo” url=”https:\/\/www.landkreis-guenzburg.de\/” url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” type=”1_4″][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/krumbad.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/11\/Bezirk-Schwaben_Logo.jpg” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” title_text=”Bezirk-Schwaben_Logo” url=”https:\/\/www.bezirk-schwaben.de\/” url_new_window=”on” hover_enabled=”0″ sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.21.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ header_2_font_size_tablet=”35px” header_2_font_size_phone=”33px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n From 1983 – 1984<\/strong> the swimming pool was built.<\/p>\n From 1986 – 1987<\/strong> the formerly \u201ein many heights interlaced\u201d kitchen area and the caf\u00e9 were renovated and newly constructed and the restaurant was modernized.
