The thermal bath of the Staatsbad Pyrmont, a historic mineral-spring spa town in the Weserbergland, offering mineral-water pools and a sauna area within the wider Kurpark spa grounds.

HUFELAND Therme is the thermal bathing facility of the Staatsbad Pyrmont, a historic mineral-spring spa town in the Weserbergland region of Lower Saxony. Named for the 18th-century physician Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland, the Therme channels Bad Pyrmont's carbonic mineral springs into indoor and outdoor pools set within the wider Kurpark spa grounds, alongside a sauna and steam-bath area for year-round use. Signature treatments draw on the town's centuries-old cure tradition and include mineral-water bathing, moor-mud wraps, and carbonic acid baths historically prescribed for circulatory conditions, administered by staff trained within Germany's state-recognized Kur (health cure) system. The therapy team includes certified Masseure and Bademeister who also support the Staatsbad's medically supervised multi-day cure programs. Facilities include a mineral-water pool hall, an outdoor bathing terrace overlooking the Kurpark, a Finnish sauna and steam bath, relaxation rooms, and a treatment wing for massage and beauty services; there is no on-site overnight accommodation, with cure guests typically lodging in nearby Kurhotels. Day visitors can enter on a walk-in basis for pool and sauna access, while moor and mineral treatments, along with massage bookings, require advance reservation, particularly for guests undertaking a full multi-day cure. The Therme's schedule varies seasonally, so checking the current timetable before visiting is worthwhile.
