Käthe-Kollwitz-Therme Bad Saarow

Käthe-Kollwitz-Therme Bad Saarow is a modern thermal spa complex located on the shores of the Scharmützelsee in the Märkische Schweiz area of Brandenburg, named in honour of the great German Expressionist artist Käthe Kollwitz who was treated at the resort during her final years. The naturally mineralised bicarbonate spring waters of Bad Saarow, drawn from deep Mesozoic geological formations beneath the Brandenburg lake plateau, are used in therapeutic pool bathing and hydrotherapy circuits in a setting of exceptional lakeside beauty. The Scharmützelsee — Brandenburg's largest natural lake — provides a stunning backdrop of pine forest, sailing regattas, and peaceful lakeside walks that complement the indoor thermal experience throughout the year. Bad Saarow's historical associations with German intellectual and artistic life of the early 20th century, combined with its lakeside natural setting and therapeutic mineral waters, make it a destination of unusual cultural and wellness depth in the Berlin-Brandenburg metropolitan region.
