Sanatorium of Dr. Rosenthal (Sanatorium Dr. Trapp)
In 1901, the Jewish physician Dr. Abraham Rosenthal set up his practice in the spa villa at Kaiser-Friedrich-Promenade 49, which he also ran as a spa guesthouse. After 1916, he also acquired no. 51, the other half of the double house. The sanatorium seems to have been in existence until Rosenthal’s death in 1937 and was then closed by the Nazis. After the Second World War, the Americans occupied the building. In 1953, the state insurance company for Hesse opened another sanatorium in this location, now under the name of “Geheimrat Dr. Trapp”, in remembrance of the cofounder of the spa business in Homburg, Privy Councilor Eduard Christian Trapp.
