History
The health springs in Bad Schönborn have been known to local farmers for centuries. In 1759, the first signs of a sulfur spring were found on the site of today's St. Rochus Clinic. In 1766, Prince-Bishop Franz Christoph von Hutten built the first bathhouse. Drilling in 1905 led to the discovery of the St. Rochus sulfur spring and the construction of the Mingolsheim sulfur baths. In 1922, the Caritas Association Ludwigshafen acquired the spa. Through continuous development of the medical services, the "St. Rochus Clinic" rehabilitation center was established.
