More about the History of Bad Oeynhausen
In the village of Bergkirchen, which belongs to Bad Oeynhausen, a wellspring sanctuary existed in pre-Christian (Saxon) times at the local crossing of the Wiehengebirge, which was replaced in the 9 th century by a church. Today's church is a subsequent building. On the church and the downhill-situated Widukind-spring — run dry in 1938 — plates explain this further. A few meters from the church a 13 th century timbered homestead can still be found.
In the first half of the 20 th century additional thermal salt springs were drilled. Among these the Jordansprudel, drilled in 1926, is best known and with a capacity of 6000 l/min and a total height of up to 40 m it is the world's highest carbonated thermal salt spring and de facto the town's landmark. The town was returned to local control in 1954 and spa activities resumed. In 1976, seven surrounding municipalities of the "Amt Rehme" merged with Bad Oeynhausen into one commune. As the last state owned spa of NRW, in early 2004 Bad Oeynhausen was municipalised.
