Bad Vilbels Kurhaus shines in new splendor - a piece of history alive!

Bad Vilbel has brought its story to life: the Kurhaus has been shining in old splendor for over a year after it has been renovated. The reopening of the historical building is emphasized by Mayor Sebastian Wysocki as an important step for the city. Large letters that characterize the Kurhaus are now emblazoned above the entrance portal. "It is not just a monument, but part of our city history in the 20th century," said Wysocki at the presentation. wetterau.news reports that boards on the Günther-Bewer-Platz also indicate the facets of the history of the Kurhaus. The Kurhaus was originally built in 1927/28 when a Volkshaus was launched for the Bad Vilbel citizens. The initiative came from the workers' movement, and the planning took over the architects Beppler and Müller from Frankfurt. After a long history in which the building was under various governments and social classes, it was renamed "Kurhaus" after the National Socialist takeover in 1933. In May of this year, the new boards commemorate all of these historical turning points. Claus-Günther Kunzmann, Head of Culture and Chairman of the History Association, wrote the texts for the tables together with his team, which are optically reserved so as not to radiate the ensemble.

a place of encounter

The Kurhaus has always been a place for all sections of the population. The municipal council unanimously approved the building application in 1927, and the initiators at that time had the goal of creating a meeting place. The building was built with a high self -help rate, which reflects the community spirit of the time. Despite the economic setbacks and high debt, it was a sign of cohesion that still works. After the Second World War, it was used as a community center with bathing operations and other functions without the basic system being visibly changed
