Bad Belzig in crisis: Steintherme is about to be sold!

In Bad Belzig, the Steintherme is on the verge of financial collapse. Loud rbb24 Mayor Robert Pulz (independent) will consider selling the popular thermal baths in order to finance urgently needed renovation work. The renovation costs are estimated at eight to twelve million euros, which the city of Bad Belzig cannot afford. Pulz emphasizes that the financial difficulties are so serious that the city is unable to cover the regular subsidy requirements for operating the thermal spa, let alone make the necessary investments to increase its attractiveness.

Investors urgently wanted

In order to save the thermal baths and secure them in the long term, the city is looking for a solvent investor who is willing to invest money in the Steintherme through a sales or lease agreement. It is important that the thermal baths remain accessible to citizens in order to promote their health and well-being. This decision will be discussed at the next city council meeting on December 16, 2024, where the future of the company will be on the agenda. The Steintherme, a central part of the spa town of Bad Belzig since it opened in 2002, is known for its iodine-containing thermal brine, which is naturally extracted from great depths and offers numerous health benefits, such as on the Steintherme website is explained.

Mayor Pulz is aware of the importance of the thermal baths for the community and is excited to see what offers and solutions will reach the city in order not only to maintain the operation of the Steintherme, but also to improve it.
