Thermal baths – a fascination for thousands of years
Water has always shaped human culture. The "elixir of life" has always been attractive - especially when it welled up from the earth warm or with a taste. The ancient Greeks worshipped water. The ancient Romans, however, achieved perfection in the construction of thermal baths and bathing facilities, building at least one thermal bath in every major city.
After the end of the Roman Empire, this culture was temporarily lost in Western Europe until the Habsburgs rediscovered the old healing springs and began to exploit them. Thermal baths were built in Baden, Heilbrunn and Gastein and became the meeting place for the who's who of the time. However, these were unaffordable for the general public and so-called peasant baths were created. People not only bathed in these, but also got married! The warm bath near Villach, for example, has survived to this day.
The First World War meant the temporary end of the thermal spa culture. It received an unexpected boost with the oil crisis of the 1970s. Oil drilling did not always just discover "black gold" but also new sources. This is how the Rogner Bad Blumau was created, for example, where instead of oil, 100 °C hot water was found at a depth of around 3,000 meters.
Getting married in the thermal baths – beautiful locations in portrait
Nowadays, thermal baths are very trendy and are no longer reserved only for the "top 10,000". In times when stress levels are increasing, they offer the perfect opportunity to switch off. However, thermal baths are not only being used for wellness and relaxation, but also for wedding celebrations.
Getting married in the footsteps of Hundertwasser... at Rogner Bad Blumau
That's why today we're presenting you the first thermal spa where you can spend your wedding anniversary: the Rogner Bad Blumau in eastern Styria. The hotel and thermal spa complex was designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser, which is also reflected in Hundertwasser's characteristic shapes, colorful facades and golden domes. The wooded roofs are also unique, as are around 330 columns and more than 2,400 unique windows.
"Say yes" in the middle of Hundertwasser's dream come true. Get married at your favorite spot on ring-green meadows, on the green roof, in the ball-red rose pavilion, on the sky-blue water lily pond terrace. Inspiration for the senses." - You can find out more about this location for up to 200 people on
