The medicinal springs

 It was in 1853 that the medicinal springs were opened and private bathing became possible. This is owed to the countess Elisabeth von Haxthausen, who struggled a long time against the Bavarian State in order to obtain the permission to use the medicinal springs. The reason for the State's reluctance was its fear that competition could be created for the State Spa Bad Kissingen, situated about 25km to the south of Bad Neustadt. Nevertheless, the countess was victorious after a struggle that took her several years.

 The famous chemist Justus von Liebig contributed to the country wide popularity of the medicinal springs through his analysis of the spring waters. He himself praised them as the "most distinguished of their kind in Germany".
