Waiblingen Kneipp Association on the verge of extinction: Is the end of the Kneipp pool?

The Waiblingen Kneipp Association is currently facing dissolution, as long-time chairwoman Dagmar Bässler has announced. This unfortunate event comes at a time when the club was an important place for health and well-being for many people in the Waiblingen area. The natural Kneipp pool in the valley, which is the heart of the club, was intensively supported and maintained by the members over the past year.

The Kneipp facility in Waiblingen is known for its water treading area, which is of central importance for hydrotherapy. The so-called “Kneipp” refers to stepping in cold water, whereby the feet must be completely lifted out of the water between steps. To feel the positive effect, users should leave the Kneipp pool after 30 seconds or if they feel very cold and then warm up their feet and legs again. Repeating this process regularly, together with sufficient exercise during and after Kneipp, stimulates the circulation and promotes blood circulation. This method is not only intended to help against varicose veins, but also to strengthen the natural defenses, making the facility a valuable offering for the local community.

Planned projects and their challenges

Despite the efforts to create the Kneipp pool, the planned natural Kneipp site in the Rems will not be realized for the time being. Thorge Semder, the head of the affected department, explains that there are other reasons for the non-implementation that have not yet been publicly communicated. The cancellation of this expansion is a further setback for the Kneipp association and makes the future of the facility appear questionable.

The purpose of the Kneipp facility is not only to promote health, but also to be an attraction for those seeking local recreation. There are other Kneipp facilities in the area that maintain interest in this tradition and offer people alternative options for using Kneipp therapies. Despite the challenges ahead, interest in hydrotherapy methods appears to be unbroken, but it remains to be seen what will happen next for the Waiblingen Kneipp Association.

The closure of the Kneipp club would represent a loss for many people in the region who rely on the physical and health benefits of the Kneipp facility. Therefore, many hope that solutions will be found in the future to keep the club alive and to continue the tradition of “Kneipping” in Waiblingen.
