Malteser Klinik von Weckbecker in Detail

Your Specialized Clinic

The Malteser Clinic von Weckbecker, located in Bad Brückenau amidst the scenic Rhön region, boasts over 60 years of tradition as a leading European specialized clinic for Integrative Medicine. Combining time-tested natural therapies such as fasting and lifestyle change concepts with modern medical insights, the clinic offers a comprehensive, holistic treatment approach based on the Four Pillars concept of its founder, Dr. med. Erich von Weckbecker. Dedicated, skilled doctors and therapists provide compassionate care, focusing on your physical, mental, and emotional well-being. In an era of hustle and bustle, this facility offers a unique sanctuary for comfort and recovery, surrounded by stunning nature. The non-smoking buildings are situated on a south-facing slope at the edge of the forest, offering panoramic views of the valley.

Location & Surroundings

The Bavarian State Spa Bad Brückenau is nestled in the heart of the Rhön Biosphere Reserve. The magnificent setting around the extensive spa park was created by King Ludwig I of Bavaria as his summer residence. The numerous healing springs of the spa town rejuvenate and help rediscover inner balance.

Dining & Leisure

Indulge in healthy delights with alkaline organic vital or gentle organic cuisine! Enjoy creative vegetarian dishes made from fresh organic and/or local ingredients. You can choose from full board, healing fasting, intermittent fasting, or a personalised diet. A teaching kitchen is available for use. Shopping coaching is also offered.

Medical Spa

The Natural Therapy Center impresses with its extensive Kneipp area, bright gymnastics and ergometer rooms, as well as qualified physiotherapy. The Medical Spa offers the following treatments and therapies: a wide range of massages (e.g., classic, acupoint-meridian, according to Breuss and Dorn, and many more), osteopathy, craniosacral therapy, colon therapy for intestinal rehabilitation (intestinal bath); homeopathy, phytotherapy (medicinal plants), orthomolecular medicine, LNB pain therapy, sports, movement and relaxation therapy, and meditation. The Milon Cardio Circuit is also available, after prior individual instruction and issuance of a chip card (28€ (approx. UK £24 / USD $30)). Current blood values are required for all programs, which are mandatorily produced on-site (laboratory diagnostics from approx. €27 (approx. UK £23 / USD $29)). A bathrobe is available for 10€ (approx. UK £9 / USD $11).

The therapies and treatments are available on weekdays (Mon.-Sat.).

Indications: overweight, metabolic, gastrointestinal, joint and spinal diseases, heart risk factors, susceptibility to infections, high blood pressure, headache, migraine, fibromyalgia, lack of energy, stress.

Fitness & Courses

The comprehensive inclusive programme offers a wide and weekly changing selection of sports and relaxation activities to support the recovery and health improvement process and the joyful transformation of lifestyle. The indoor pool, sauna area with infrared cabin and steam bath, as well as the sensorial shower, invite you to relax. A Kneipp pool is also available. Additionally, a variety of cosmetic treatments are offered. Other facilities include a lawn with a barefoot path, a chapel, and a library.

Four Pillars Concept

The effective interplay of various natural therapies, which relieve and regenerate the body, mind, and soul, forms the foundation for your journey to health and zest for life, developed by Dr. med. Erich von Weckbecker, the founder and namesake of the clinic.

1. Pillar: Fasting, Nutrition & Dietetics

2. Pillar: Movement & Relaxation, Osteopathy, Physiotherapy

3. Pillar: Kneipp Hydrotherapy, Colon Therapy

4. Pillar: Spirituality, Life Coaching & Mindfulness

Dr. med. Erich von Weckbecker (1920 – 2005), the founder and namesake of the clinic, turned to naturopathy due to severe illness. He experienced the effective interplay of various therapies that relieve and regenerate the body, mind, and soul. His subsequent recovery was the impetus for the development of his Four-Pillar Concept, which reflects the methodology of his path to health and zest for life and forms the basis of all the clinic's offerings.

Fasting in Silence

During a fasting stay in comfort rooms (hotel II), meals can be served in your room instead of the dining hall upon prior registration. In your personal retreat, you can consume your meals quietly and thoughtfully - an important aspect of the Weckbecker fasting therapy. Small texts for reflection and further thought, along with impulses from the field of pastoral care & psychology, will accompany you during this time.

Free Time

Hiking trails are located directly near the hotel. Cycling routes start from the town centre. A driving range (golf) and tennis facilities are also available in the town. The city of Fulda and the Maria Bildhausen Monastery are about 30 km from the clinic and are well worth a visit.

A successful fasting vacation with excellent support

The Weckbecker fasting clinic has an excellent reputation for good reason. The fasting retreat is very well supervised over the entire period, with several medical appointments and treatments. There is a varied sports program (yoga, gymnastics, hiking, walking, etc.), a swimming pool, fitness equipment and several saunas. Without exception, the staff are very friendly and always ready to help. There is a pleasant, warm atmosphere throughout the hotel. The rooms are always spotlessly clean. My fasting retreat was a complete success. The clinic is very suitable for those traveling alone. Most of the guests here are healing therapies alone and you can quickly make contact with the other guests if you want to.

Very good, helped me

I'll be back. But it would be good if the balconies in house 2 had sun protection. You could only use the balcony when there was shade or no sun. That was a pity.

My experience at the Malteser Klinik von Weckbecker was truly exceptional. The spa staff and doctors were dedicated professionals who took a holistic approach to ensuring every aspect of the guest's well-being was carefully attended to. For me, it was a perfect retreat—a time to focus on health and relaxation, away from the hustle and bustle of daily life and work.
