Overview
- The Sprudelhof Therme, which launches its weekly “Relax Saturday” on Saturday, will turn away all guests under 16 regardless of parental accompaniment.
- Managers say frequent requests for more quiet led to the rule and they report no specific incident that forced the change.
- The mayor calls it a coordinated business choice by the operator and says families can use the nearby USA‑Wellenbad, with the Therme open to all the other six days.
- Reaction on the spa’s social accounts tops 200 comments with praise for a calm zone and criticism that weekends are the only time many families can go.
- As a private venue the spa can set access rules under house rights, and the operator says it will watch guest response before deciding whether to keep the policy.
