Was there and didn't find the sign that can be seen in the photos. Just learned from the Bad Laer Tourist Information that they had to close the area and it is no longer publicly accessible.

Between the laying of the foundation stone in 1868 and its final sale to an investor group in 1997, 25 years tell of changes. It is arguably the building in Bad Rothenfelde with the most varied history. Dining and concert halls (the famous Red Hall), dance floors, wine cellars, terraces, a bar, hotel rooms, staff quarters, kitchens, and cellars—all of this was housed within its walls, and much was subsequently destroyed by fire. Just as the owners changed hands frequently, so too did the names. Built as the "Höckersches Badehotel," it was known as the Kurhaus (spa hotel) from 1881 to 1952, then the Kurklinik Nollmann (Nollmann spa clinic), and subsequently the Kurhaussanatorium with a hotel in the spa park. From 1969 onward, the operation of the hall and hotel was managed directly by the spa administration. Later, after further renovations and fires, and as long as it remained under the spa administration's ownership, the guest complex was called the Residenzhotel (Residence Hotel). The hotel's history finally came to a close in 1985 when the guest rooms were converted into condominiums. The adjacent halls and bars have been managed and leased by an investor group since 1997. The hotel in the spa park and the small concert hall were demolished. The residents of Rothenfelde are quite used to that sort of thing. The senior citizens' residence in the spa park now stands on this site, and its residents have the privilege (or rather, must accept) of having a box seat at all the festivals in the concert garden. But the townspeople still gather in the Kurhaus every year for the Bad Rothenfelde meal, and every Sunday, lively couples dance, replenishing their calorie expenditure with cream cakes.

The body of water owes its name to a legend about the devil who stole the bell from the church tower and disappeared into the depths – supposedly, it can still sometimes be heard ringing underwater.
