Experience Pure Relaxation at Lohengrin Therme Bayreuth

Lohengrin Therme sits on the northern edge of Bayreuth, just a few minutes from the city center and right next to the historic Eremitage park and an 18-hole golf course. The complex opened in 1999 and draws its water from the Friedrich Well, a state-recognized thermal spring. That water travels through the earth for thousands of years before reaching the surface, arriving at a natural 36°C with no additional heating needed. The building itself is spacious and modern, designed to bring swimming, sauna, and relaxation under one roof without feeling cramped.

Inside you’ll find roughly 1,000 square meters of water spread across 13 different pools. There’s a 25-meter swimming lane, a current channel, massage jets, floor bubbles, and a water mushroom feature. Temperatures range from a cool Kneipp pool up to 38°C in the whirlpool. The sauna area includes a classic Finnish sauna at 95°C, a softer 85°C option, a bio-sauna, a steam bath, and a rustic sauna. The spa offers massages that range from activating to deeply relaxing. The wellness philosophy here is practical: the thermal water is certified for treating spine and joint issues, muscle problems, nerve conditions, and exhaustion. It’s not just about pampering — it’s about genuine recovery.

Lohengrin Therme works well for a broad audience. Adults, seniors, couples, and families all find something here, and the free daily activity program includes water gymnastics, aqua running, boxing, and tai chi. Weekday mornings are the quietest time for a relaxed soak, while evenings and weekends draw a busier crowd. What makes this place special is the combination of genuine medical-grade thermal water, a wide variety of pools and saunas, and a location that feels removed from the city without being remote. You come for the water, stay for the quiet, and leave feeling properly reset.

The thermal water at Lohengrin Therme comes from the Friedrich Well, a state-recognized healing spring. The 36°C water is classified as a medicinal spring with officially recognized therapeutic indications. Based on the Heilwasseranalyse conducted by the Institute for Medical Balneology and Climatology at LMU Munich, the water is indicated for several specific conditions.

Key approved health applications include disorders of the spine, joints, muscles, and connective tissue. The water also supports treatment for nerve conditions, both physical and psychological exhaustion states, and soft tissue rheumatism. For musculoskeletal issues, the thermal water is specifically indicated for arthrosis, disc prolapse, and recovery after spinal or joint surgery.

The warmth and mineral properties of the water help relieve muscle tension and improve circulation. The recommended bathing duration is around 20 minutes followed by a rest period to allow the therapeutic effects to take full effect. The complex also features dedicated therapy pools, Kneipp contrast bathing facilities, and a steam bath to support these health applications.

For the sauna area, we recommend a bathrobe and three towels. Non-slip bath slippers are important for safety and hygiene. You can rent bathrobes and towels at reception for a fee.

Yes, the sauna area is traditionally textile-free. You do not wear clothing inside the saunas themselves, and you use the cooling pools and showers without swimwear. In the relaxation rooms and hallways, you cover up with a bathrobe or towel.

How long should I stay in the sauna?

For your first sauna session, we recommend 8 to 12 minutes, lying down or sitting relaxed on the lower or middle bench. After the sauna session, cool down for about 10 to 15 minutes, for example in fresh air or with a cold shower. A rest period of at least 30 minutes is important for your body afterward.

We recommend a bathing duration of about 20 minutes in the water, followed by a rest period. This allows the positive effects of the thermal bath to take full effect.
