bath
The bathroom was built on the initiative of Dr. Simon-Spengel (1802-1871): In May 1870 and with advice from August Kienzerle, he applied to the Kgl. District Office Schongau initially the establishment of a "mineral water, whey and herbal juice health center" under the direction of the health resort doctor Dr. Liegl. The application was granted ten days later, and the first bathing season is the war year 1870.
Then the healing power of the surrounding high moor is used, as a result, the mountain village is transformed into a mud spa. Kohlgrub has officially been using the title "Bad" since 1948.
