Sächsische Staatsbäder GmbH

General information

Sächsische Staatsbäder GmbH (SSB), a company of the Free State of Saxony, combines the two mud and mineral spas Bad Elster and Bad Brambach.

It was founded in 1991 in connection with the 200-year-old health tradition and has developed into an important and supporting pillar of health tourism in Saxony/Vogtland due to its medical-therapeutic competence.

The natural local remedies, integrated in an offer structure supported by medical competence and individuality for the guest, together with the existing historic spa architecture and the heritage-protected parks as well as the extensive cultural offer, form a unique selling point for the SSB.

In 2010, as part of the reorganisation and strategic realignment of the company, the supply structure for both company sites was clearly positioned.
There was a return to the focus on “health, spa treatment and prevention” using natural remedies, complemented by the area of “well-being”.

With the opening of the Salt Water Hot Spring & Sauna World Bad Elster in 2015, the new prevention product has succeeded in attracting a broad new clientele for the area of regeneration and relaxation.

At the Bad Brambach site, Sächsische Staatsbäder GmbH is increasingly focusing on the treatment of chronic pain with the natural remedy radon, and in the course of opening the new Radon Therapy Centre in 2021, radon application capacities have been doubled.
