Royal Grounds Bad Elster
Touched by the Muse
King Albert Theater
In 1795, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
discovered the idyllically situated town as
an inspiration for his work »Hermann and
Dorothea«. The Saxon sovereigns finally
appointed Bad Elster a Royal Saxon State Spa
in the 19th century because of its healing
springs.
The town developed into a sophisticated spa
for Europe’s high society. Spacious parks and
magnificent buildings still beckon visitors to
relax and stroll to this day. With their rare woody
plants, colorful flower borders and lush green
lawns, the English landscape gardens are genuine
places of well-being. Theme gardens, sculptures,
water features, Louisa Lake, and the
uniquely illuminated world of lights round off
the adventure landscape.
The Royal Spa House
Enjoy the concerts in the Royal Grounds of Bad Elster
The Royal Spa House, the Kunst-Wandelhalle,
the King Albert Theater, three music pavilions
and Saxony’s first open-air stage, the Natur-
Theater Bad Elster, create a »festival mile of
short distances« around the saltwater spa and the
Albert Bad. Every year, around 1,000 events
performed by the Chursaechsische Philharmonie
Bad Elster and other top-class artists of all
persuasions take place here.
