New glimmer of hope for the spa center: is the turn in Quedlinburg?

In Bad Suderode, the future of the spa center is again a hotly discussed topic. The Histórico building, which has fallen into a slumber for years, could now get a new chance, such as MDR. Jaqueline Brückner, one of the residents, is skeptical about the long dry spell without any noteworthy progress. "There were only promises for years," said Brückner. Her sister Katharina, who has a special connection to the spa center, also hopes for positive changes. "It would be good for the region if something is happening here again," she says, while thinking back to the Abitur celebration of her school days in the spa center.

also Joachim Knoth, the managing director of the adjacent spa hotel, sees potential to revitalize the spa center. He emphasizes the need for his own wellness offers for the survival of his hotel and is optimistic about the return of the city of Quedlinburg as the owner of the spa center. The challenges of relying on private investors seem too great for him, which is why he strives for closer cooperation with the local rehabilitation clinic and other therapy providers. Frank Ruch, Mayor of Quedlinburg, is confident that progress can finally be made and is in contact with experienced planning offices in search of a new investor.

legal hurdles and solutions

In the background, a legal struggle for the ownership of the spa center runs. A judgment of the Magdeburg district court of December 13, 2024 obliges the insolvency administrator of a former investor to return the property and the spa center to the city of Quedlinburg. After more than ten years of disputes, the judgment is a glimmer of hope, even if the payment of around 70,000 euros is necessary to complete the matter, such as Jura.

The way there was rocky; The returns of the properties are a result of the lack of contract fulfillment by previous investors. After the city resigned from the original purchase contract in 2014, there were further sales attempts, but they were not successful. However, the clarification of all open questions is still pending because the judgment is not legally binding and an appeal remains possible.

The role of the healthcare industry

The recovery of the health sector after the Corona crisis and growth in the field of medical care can give impulses for the Bad Suderode region and the hope of sustainable development of the spa center. The connection between tourism and health offers could also increase the attractiveness of the region and create new sources of employment.

It remains to be seen how the processed situation will develop around the spa center. Both the residents and the on -site entrepreneurs hope for a positive turn that could revive the region. "It could be a real departure signal for Bad Suderode," concludes Katharina Brückner.
