Ceremonial anniversary years: Therme Erding is 25 years old!

Erding, Deutschland - Erding looks back on a quarter of a century of success and innovation since the Therme Erding opened its doors on October 3, 1999. This unique system offers guests a tropical holiday experience without long trips, which made the thermal bath a goal from the start. In the meantime, the largest thermal bath in the world attracts over 1.8 million visitors every year, which underlines its importance as one of the most popular travel destinations in Germany.

The rush started in the first year with 700,000 visitors when the dream of relaxing became a reality under palm trees. The opening of the Galaxy Erding in 2007 expanded the offer and particularly attracted families and young people. The simultaneous opening of the extensive sauna landscape offers guests a comprehensive wellness experience. 

economic importance

As the most important economic factor for the city of Erding, the thermal baths employ more than 600 people from 49 nations and thus creates another 400 jobs through external partners. The hotel industry in particular benefits from the constant increasing number of overnight stays, which rose from 150,000 in 1999 to over 550,000. The thermal bath has proven to be a stable economic engine, especially in times of negative influences, such as Corona pandemic.

"Our goal is to constantly improve the high standards and the quality of our offers," assures Jörg Wund, the thermal holder. The Therme Erding has not only developed into a center for relaxation, but also into a showcase project in terms of economic stability.

anniversary celebrations and prominent guests

On October 10th, a festive press conference for the 25th anniversary of the thermal bath took place, to which Prime Minister Dr. Markus Söder appeared as a prominent guest of honor. In an emotional review, he remembered beautiful hours with his children in the experience area of the thermal baths. "The combination of a fun pool, slide park and relaxation thermal bath is unique," emphasized Söder. Other political decision -makers, as Minister of State Ulrike Scharf, also emphasized the economic importance of the thermal baths and paid tribute to the creation of many jobs.

An exciting chapter in the history of the thermal bath is the discovery of the Ardeo source in 1983, which delivers 65 degrees warm thermal water. This water is used not only for the pools, but also for the environmentally friendly energy supply of the ICE-SPA, which also makes the thermal baths an important contribution to reducing CO2 emissions.

Furthermore, the thermal bath shows with its sustainable energy policy and mobility concepts that you can also think in the wellness industry in an environmentally friendly manner. In addition to facilities for the use of renewable energies, numerous charging stations for electric vehicles were also installed. 

The future plans are also impressive: the thermal bath is working on other solar systems and an expansion of the e-charging stations to minimize ecological footprint. The immediate production capacity of up to 75 percent of the electricity requirement on sunny days shows the commitment to a greener future.

A reason why the Therme Erding will remain a leader in the coming years is its ability to adapt to the growing needs of the guests and at the same time make a positive contribution to the region.
