Johann Wolfgang von Goethe discovered Bad Elster in 1795 as the muses for his epic poem »Hermann and Dorothea«. Due to its healing springs, the town in the Vogtland was named a Royal Saxon State Spa town in the 19th century and it soon became a glamorous destination for Europe’s high society. Visitors have always been attracted by the town’s parks and magnificent buildings. With colorful flower beds, water features, themed gardens, sculptures and the Louisa Lake, the English landscape gardens are comforting retreats for the soul. The area around the saltwater spa and the Albert Bad is a »festival mile of short distances«, a true cultural hotspot with attractions such as the Royal Spa House, the KunstWandelhalle, the King Albert Theater, music pavilions and the NaturTheater Bad Elster. This is where the Chursaechsische Philharmonie Bad Elster and other ensembles hold their performances.
