Anniversary Theatre "The Springs of Bad Mergentheim" - 3rd Performance

200 years of springs. 100 years of "Bad". In 2026, Bad Mergentheim celebrates two major milestones: the discovery of healing springs by shepherd Franz Gehrig in 1826 and the bestowal of the "Bad" designation a hundred years ago.

The city and spa administration mark the anniversary year with an extensive programme of events, centred on the spa park as a stage for history and the present. Specifically for this year, the spa administration has developed a theatrical play together with StudioBÜHNE of the Bad Mergentheim Cultural Association.

"The Springs of Bad Mergentheim - A Journey Through Time and the Art of Healing" tells of the curious discovery by a shepherd, heated debates in the town hall, elegant spa society gatherings and visions of the future - with humour, music and surprising scenes. The play shows how a small spring became an entire spa town.
