The gradierbau structures in Bad Nauheim are one of the treatments provided to patients attending the spa clinics in Bad Nauheim. The original purpose of a Gradierbau was to derive salt out of the spa water and return it to the spa. They are packed with blackthorn twigs through which the salty spring water drips and is converted into vapor. The salty vapours are similar to that of fresh sea air and are extremely useful in the healing process of lung ailments.
