Stock Photo - 12 April 2021, Saxony-Anhalt, Schönebeck: The graduation house in the Bad Salzelmen spa gardens. It was built in the middle of the 18th century and originally had a length of over 1800 meters. With the graduation house the boiling process of the brine should be shortened, because the brine could evaporate before in the graduation house by wind and sun and so the salt content of the brine increased. Today, the building is used for open-air inhalation, as the evaporation process also enriches the surrounding air with salt. The effect is said to be similar to that of the sea. Bad Salzelmen is a district of Schönebeck. The city is located in the Salzlandkreis. Photo: Klaus-Dietmar Gabbert/dpa-Zentralbild/ZB. - Schönebeck/Saxony-Anhalt/Germany
