Robert-Kampe-Sprudel well drilled to 72.9 m in 1955; current Emser Therme building opened December 20, 2012

Emser Therme opened on December 20, 2012 in the UNESCO-listed spa town of Bad Ems, Rhineland-Palatinate. Its water comes from the Robert-Kampe-Sprudel, a well drilled to 72.9 meters in 1955 that reaches 57.2°C, among the hottest thermal sources in Germany. The water is classified as a fluoride-bearing sodium-chloride-bicarbonate thermal spring with about 4.16 g/L total dissolved solids, and supplies indoor and outdoor pools ranging from 18°C to 38°C.
Bad Ems's mineral springs — including the Robert-Kampe-Sprudel, tapped via a 72.9-meter borehole in 1955 and reaching 57.2°C — made it a spa town long before the modern Emser Therme was built. The current building opened December 20, 2012, and Bad Ems was inscribed in 2021 as one of three German towns in UNESCO's 'Great Spas of Europe' World Heritage Site, alongside Baden-Baden and Bad Kissingen.
