{Appointment} Networking & health management in the thermal baths: In the pool with Barack Obama?

Making contacts in a relaxed atmosphere and getting to know colleagues from a completely different perspective clear more than stiff snack events where everyone tries to show their best side. Perhaps you can also meet Barack Obama – or at least almost.

Networking: How do you meet Barack Obama?

Everyone knows everyone around six corners, as the saying goes Networking, which means that everyone everyone People of Welt can reach via a maximum of six contacts. It sounds illusory, but at a recent, rather informal event as part of the Kissinger Sommer, I suddenly realized just how close we are to former US President Barack Obama.

This is an international music festival in Bad Kissingen that has been taking place every year from mid-June to mid-July since 1986, with David Garrett or or Chinese star pianist Lang Lang appearing. The Max-Littmann-Saal in Regentenbau, right next to the Kurtheater Bad Kissingen, belongs to the 10 best concert halls in Europe and gave the festival such an international renown.

Informal business events

Noteworthy for a place with 20.000 residents: This year, 35.300 tickets for 63 events were sold, including lectures by MdB and ex-Telekom HR Director Thomas Sattelberger or our event.

It was a concert by the Norwegian mezzo-soprano Tora Augstad, who was bathing in the Kissalis thermal baths Audience Songs by Kurt von Weil, among others. The event showed how good informal events can be even in a professional Business-Environment work.

Meet with Dorothea Bear in the pool and then Barack Obama

Because the atmosphere of this concert was so extraordinary that also the patron saint of Kissinger Sommer, Minister of State and CSU-chairman Dorothea Bär was one of the guests. And then you found yourself in the pool again with a minister who met Barack Obama in Kenya just this week. So sometimes it actually takes just a few contacts.

Perhaps more companies should therefore use such special event formats to make their events less dry act to permit? Most of them are rather boring affairs with a stand-up partyCharacter. It is all the more to be welcomed if companies also take advantage of unusual offers such as skiing or cultural offers.

Health management in the thermal bath

But also the Kannewischer Collection - a total of six thermal baths at five locations throughout Germany - is part of the Kissalis-Therme Companys a comprehensive health concept.

Denn Prävention and stress reduction will help Employees to keep as fit as possible despite the workload. And employers show with corporate health offers that they are actively trying to attract their employees with such offers as part of employer branding.

Facilities of the spa

Built from 2001 to 2004, the spa has 1.000 square meters of water surface with various indoor and outdoor pools as well as whirlpools, intensive brine and therapy pools between 18 and 38 ° C. What is missing is a swimmer's pool.

After all, there is a very nice sauna park with various Finnish saunas, steam room and sauna and a wide range of applications such as massages, beauty treatments, body wraps and scrubs or deep heat with natural Fango. I was fascinated by the singing bowl massage in the relaxing intensive brine pool, which I was allowed to test.

Business services

Next to the thermal bath there is a gym with a personal training area. Kannewischer offers companies, for example, major customer discounts for entry to the Termen or special ones SALE.

These include, for example, the health day at the spa, which includes a seminar, a fitness and relaxation course, water aerobics and 3 hours of free admission to the spa at a discounted price. Highly recommended - especially in comparison to other bathrooms - is the way the food in the bistro, that also gladly on the special wishes of health-conscious guests.

What good is a thermal bath for your health?

But what does a thermal bath actually do for the health management of companies: According to a study by the medical University Graz and the State Hospital St. Pölten, a 25-minute thermal bath leads to a significant reduction in the cortisol content in the saliva, which is Stressindicator applies.

In addition, volunteers indicated that they felt much more relaxed bathing in well-tempered pools than those practicing other relaxation techniques. In addition, her pain on joints and spine noticeably decreased.

How thermal baths reduce the burden

Optimal are about 35 ° C, which are perceived as thermally particularly pleasant, because the body without movement neither cools nor overheated. From a medical point of view, staying in water also promotes well-being for other reasons: The hydrostatic pressure promotes tissue perfusion and blood return to the heart, which stimulates the circulation.

The buoyancy and associated decrease in weight associated with the Head above the surface is only ten percent of what it is on land, relieves the entire musculoskeletal system, which can relax and relax; Sole even creates a state of limbo. In addition, the water resistance increases the training effect because movements are more strenuous and the muscles are more challenged - a side effect that plays an important role in prevention and rehabilitation to improve physical performance.

To the Kannewischer-Collection

If the water also contains salubrious minerals, which can affect the body even better through the heat, they will nourish the skin. Moreover, during an osmotic process they penetrate through the pores into the body and provide a deep effect on joints, metabolism or organs as well as on the cardiovascular system.

The name of the Kissalis Therme is short for "In Aquis Kissingen salus", which means "In the waters of Kissingen is salvation". The company founder, Bernd Kannewischer, actually became a pool specialist by accident: he started an engineering office in Zug, Switzerland, in 1972 and over a period of 44 years planned around 250 public indoor, outdoor, spa and thermal pools as well as hotel wellness and fitness facilities in Germany, Switzerland, France and Italy Technology. 1994 took over the Company with the Caracalla thermal baths and the Friedrichsbad baths, the first own baths as tenants. In Bad Kissingen, too, the thermal baths are leased from the public utility company.

With Empress Sissi and Bismarck in Bad Kissingen

Thermal baths are by no means a new invention: as early as the beginning of the 19th century, the Bavarian kings were attracted to Kissingen and its mineral springs I aufmerksam. The thermal springs were redesigned and the spa gardens expanded.

From the 1830 years Kissingen was the fashion resort par excellence for Europe's nobility and aristocracy, not only the Bavarian kings, but also Empress Elisabeth of Austria or Chancellor Otto Prince of Bismark were here - on the latter was even committed an assassination.

Soon World Heritage by UNESCO?

Bad Kissingen later became popular with the bourgeoisie as well as with artists, writers and musicians, and the social and political dimension of a cure was no longer to be underestimated. Names such as Theodor Fontane, George Bernard Shaw and Richard Strauss graced the guest lists.

Even though the grandeur of that time has faded a bit, Bad Kisssingen still has some highlights today: it has the largest ensemble of historical spa gardens built around the spa gardens, especially under Ludwig I, in Bavarian classicism 11's traditional European spa towns, the Great Spas of Europe, aiming for UNESCO World Heritage status. It is also the oldest Gradierstandort Europe and has the oldest golf course in Bavaria from the year 1911.
