The thermal history of Bad Oeynhausen, in North Rhine-Westphalia, began in 1745 with the discovery of the region's first salt spring, encouraged by the Prussian state to develop a saltworks. It wasn't until 1830 that mining engineer Carl von Oeynhausen was tasked with drilling to locate rock-salt deposits; ten years later, drilling in what is now the spa park uncovered a carbonated saline thermal spring, which set the town on its path to becoming a bathing resort. In 1848, Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV renamed the facility in his honour.
Today's Bali Therme, regarded as one of Germany's most beautiful wellness complexes, spans 25,000 m² across a thermal world, sauna landscape, wellness and dining areas. Born from the complete renovation of Wittekind-Therme I, reopened in 1994, it is now supplied by the Alexander-von-Humboldt spring, whose thermal saline water reaches up to 33 degrees.
