FRANZENSBAD

This article appears in Volume V11, Page 37 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRANZENSBAD , or KAISER-FRANZEDiRAD, a town and watering-place of Bohemia, Austria, 152 M. IlkN.W. of Prague by rail. Pop. (1900) 2330. It is situated at an altitude of about 1500 ft. between the spurs of the
Fichtelgebirge
 , the Bohmerwald and the Erzgebirge, and lies 4 M. N.W. of Eger. It possesses a large kursaal, several bathing establishments, a
hospital
 
    See Also:
for poor patients and several parks. There are altogether 12
mineral
  springs with saline, alkaline and ferruginous waters, of which the oldest and most important is the Franzensquelle. One of the springs gives off carbonic acid gas and another contains a considerable proportion of lithia salts. The waters, which have an
average
  temperature between 50.2 F. and 54.50 F., are used both internally and externally, and are efficacious in cases of anaemia, nervous disorders, sexual diseases, specially for women, and heart diseases. Franzensbad is frequently resorted to as an after-cure by patients from Carlsbad and
Marienbad
 . Another important part of the cure is the so-called moor or mud-baths, prepared from the peat of the Franzensbad marsh, which is very
rich
  in
mineral
  substances, like sulphates of iron, of soda and of potash, organic acids, salt, &c.
The first information about the springs
dates
  from the 16th century, and an
analysis
  of the waters was made in 1565. Theywere first used for bathing purposes in 1707. But the foundation of Franzensbad as a watering-place really
dates
  from 1793, when Dr
Adler
  built here the first Kurhaus, and the place received its name after the emperor Francis I.
See Dr Loimann, Franzensbad (3rd ed., Vienna, 1900).
