REICHENHALL

This article appears in Volume V23, Page 49 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REICHENHALL , a town and watering-place in the kingdom of Bavaria, finely situated in an
amphitheatre
  of lofty mountains, on the river Saalach, 1570 ft. above sea-level, 9 m. S.W. of Salzburg. Pop. (1900) 4927, excluding visitors. Reichenhall possesses several copious saline springs, producing about 85oo tons of
salt
  per annum. The water of some of the springs, the sources of which are 5o ft. below the surface, is so strongly saturated with
salt
  (up to 24%) that it is at once conducted to the boiling houses, while that of the others is first submitted to a process of evaporation. Reichenhall is the centre of the four
chief
  Bavarian salt-works, which are connected with each other by brine conduits having an aggregate length of 6o m. The surplus brine of
Berchtesgaden
  is conducted to Reichenhall, and thence, in increased volume, to Traunstein and Rosenheim, which possess larger supplies of timber for use as
fuel
  in the process of boiling. Since 1846 Reichenhall has become one of the most fashionable spas and
climatic
 
health
  resorts in Germany, and it is now visited annually by about ten thousand patients, besides many thousand passing tourists. The saline springs are used both for drinking and bathing, and are said to be efficacious in scrofula and incipient tuberculosis.
The brine springs of Reichenhall are mentioned in a document of the 8th
century
  and were perhaps known to the Romans; but almost all trace of antiquity of the town was destroyed by a conflagration in 1834. The brine conduit to Traunstein
dates
  from 1618. The environs abound in numerous charming Alpine excursions.
See G. von
Liebig
 , Reichenhall, sein Klima and seine Heilmitiel (6th ed., Reichenhall, 1889) ; and Goldschmidt, Der transits Bad Reichenhall and seine Umgebung (Vienna, 1892).
