Bad Kissingen is situated in the heart of Germany - far from the stresses of city life. A place where visitors can luxuriate in the tranquil and elegant atmosphere. Back in the good old days, kings and empresses certainly knew how to enjoy themselves - and the town still has a number of splendid buildings from this era, such as the Regent's building with its Schmuckhof courtyard or the grand theatre.Regent's building
Completed in May 1913, the Regent's building is widely regarded as the most magnificent edifice in Kissingen's spa district. The dignitaries who have sat beneath the brocade canopy in the Great Hall include Crown Princess Cecilia von Hohenzollern, Queen Luise of Sweden, and King Bhumibol and Queen Sirikit of Thailand. Today the Great Hall is an art and science forum, as well as a prestigious venue for concerts by famous orchestras, conferences and balls.Schmuckhof courtyard
An open-air venue situated in the heart of the monumental Regent's building and surrounded by sumptuous halls, the Schmuckhof has been described as a "design masterpiece". This delightful garden is far removed from the noise and stress of everyday life. Reminiscent of the Italian gardens of the baroque and Renaissance periods, the courtyard is adorned with sculptures from Roman and Greek mythology.Bad Kissingen theatre
Bad Kissingen's theatre was built under Prince Regent Luitpold. He commissioned Professor Max Littmann to create a building divided into three parts, with a pavilion foyer, an auditorium and a high stage. The auditorium was modelled on a royal tiered theatre. A theatre consisting only of stalls, as was typical at that time, was considered too common for a royal spa resort. The theatre with its "Crane Migration" ceiling fresco and art nouveau embellishments on the walls has been retained virtually in its original condition from when it opened in 1905.
