For more health promotion and prevention: Kneipp facilities in public spaces can make an important contribution to our health system. The new app, funded by the Federal Ministry of Health, aims to make the availability of the Kneipp facilities in Germany visible and usable for people. We are looking for ALL Kneipp facilities - together with you!
The “Kneipp facilities” app can now be downloaded free of charge from the Google Play Store. However, depending on the season, most of the Kneipp facilities will not be filled until spring 2022 - we would be delighted if you would notify us of the facilities at the start of the Kneipp season. Of course, you can also report the systems beforehand. All Kneipp facilities that can be found within a building can now be entered in the directory.
The aim is to work with all health-interested people in Germany to create a digital directory of all Kneipp facilities in Germany that is as complete as possible. Where is the nearest Kneipp facility for treading water? No problem with the new app - just activate the area search.
Information on the location, the respective Kneipp facility and the correct procedure for using the facilities are displayed in the app. The portal is designed to be appealing, knowledge-enriching and interesting for users through various interaction options (e.g. evaluation of systems, parts of systems, favorites list, etc.).
"Nature is the best pharmacy", Sebastian Kneipp already knew more than 120 years ago. His health concept has been continuously developed on the basis of the latest scientific research and today comprises five elements: water, exercise, nutrition, medicinal plants and the way of life. This holistic approach is based on the knowledge that a properly functioning immune system, extensive physical fitness and good stress resistance are important for the self-healing powers that strengthen resilience.
Sebastian Kneipp's findings are more relevant today than ever: It is “(...) no wonder when diseases claim so many victims, because humanity has deviated far from the earlier, simple, natural way of life. Not that the achievements of our time have to be sacrificed again, but a balance has to be found in order to strengthen the overexerted nerves to maintain their strength. A balance has to be struck between work and way of life. ”Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the necessity and timeliness of this call. That is why it is more important than ever to find a balance - in order to be able to keep body and soul in balance. Sebastian Kneipp was not only philanthropist and visionary; Like no other, he lived the prevention concept and made it known nationwide even then. Many people only think about health when it is lacking. Kneipp has left us with a health system that should make it easy for everyone to promote their own health and prevent diseases.
