Staatsbad Pyrmont & Goethe Hotel

The Goethe Hotel is centrally located in Bad Pyrmont. This historic hotel, built in 1740, has been fully renovated in recent years. The namesake Johann Wolfgang von Goethe stayed here in 1801 during his therapy visit in this quaint, romantic hotel.
This heritage-listed hotel welcomes its guests with a warm, family-run atmosphere and offers a lavish breakfast buffet. A cosy garden and a small library in the lobby provide relaxation. There is no lift available.

Bad Pyrmont excels with consolidated health expertise across various medical fields, utilising its valuable natural remedies.
The Healthy Seven The springs emerge in the Valley of Springs and are administered directly at the springs, in the therapy centres, and in the promenade hall. In Bad Pyrmont, there is the rarity of two different types of healing waters: the brine-containing sodium chloride acidulous waters and the calcium- and magnesium-rich hydrogen carbonate acidulous waters.
Brine Brine baths have a calming effect on the autonomic nervous system. Brine motion baths allow for intensive muscle and circulatory training due to increased buoyancy. Movements in brine water specifically relieve joints and the back.
Mud The therapeutic mud allows for very high application temperatures over an extended period while being well tolerated. At temperatures of 105 to 115°F, an optimal therapeutic effect is achieved. A treatment with natural mud improves joint mobility, muscle relaxation, and enhanced circulation throughout the body.
CO2 spring gas and the steam cave The steam cave is a unique natural phenomenon. CO2 spring gas invisibly flows from a rock fissure at the Helvetius Hill to the earth's surface. The carbon dioxide degasses from a magma source at a depth of 13,123 feet and is the driving force for all of Bad Pyrmont's healing springs. CO2 brings these healing waters to daylight. Central and peripheral vessels are better blood-supplied, relieving the heart and circulatory system.
