church. Its thermal See also:waters (84° to 95° F.), although known for centuries, were, See also:prior to 1835, only employed for the extraction of See also:salt. They now yield about 2000 tons annually. The See also:town has several parks, the largest being the Kurpark, 125 acres in extent, in which are the Kurhaus and the two See also:chief springs. The waters, which are saline, strongly impregnated with carbonic See also:acid, and to a less extent with See also:iron, are principally used for bathing, and are specific in cases of See also:gout and See also:rheumatism, but especially for See also:heart affections. Three smaller springs, situated outside the Kurpark, See also:supply See also:water for drinking. In 1899—1900 a new See also:spring (saline) was tapped at a See also:depth of 682 ft. Another attraction of the place is the See also:Johannisberg, a See also:- HILL

Nauheim, which was bestowed by See also:Napoleon upon See also:Marshal See also:Davout, became a town in 1854. From 1815 to 1866 it belonged to the electorate of Hesse-Cassel, but in 1866 it was ceded to

The See also:cathedral, an imposing See also:building in the Romanesque Transition See also:style (1207–1242), has a See also:Gothic See also:choir at each end, and contains some interesting See also:medieval sculptures. It is remarkable for its large See also:crypt and its towers, a See also:fourth having been added in 1894, the See also:gift of the See also:emperor See also:- WILLIAM

William II. There are also four other See also:Protestant churches (of which the town church, dedicated to St See also:Wenceslaus and restored in 1892–1894, possesses two pictures by See also:Lucas See also:Cranach the See also:elder), a Roman Catholic church, a gymnasium, a See also:modern school, an orphanage and three hospitals. A curious feature of the town is the See also:custom, which has not yet died out, of labelling the houses with signs, such as the " See also:swan," the " See also:leopard " and the " See also:lion." The See also:industries of the place mainly consist in the manufacture of See also:cotton and woollen fabrics, chemicals, combs, See also:beer, See also:vinegar and See also:leather. On the hills to the north of the town, across the Unstrut, lies Schenkelburg, once the See also:residence of the poet See also:Gellert, and noticeable for the See also:grotesque carvings in the See also:sandstone rocks.
In the loth See also:century See also:Naumburg was a stronghold of the See also:mar-See also:graves of See also:Meissen, who in 1029 transferred to it the bishopric of See also:Zeitz. In the See also:history of See also:Saxony it is memorable as the See also:scene of various See also:treaties; and in 1561 an See also:assembly of Protestant princes was held there, which made a futile See also:attempt to See also:cement the doctrinal dissensions of the Protestants. In 1564 the last See also:bishop died, and the bishopric See also:fell to the elector of Saxony. In 1631 the town was taken by See also:Tilly, and in 1632 by Gustavus See also:Adolphus. It became Prussian in 1814. An See also:annual festival, with a See also:pro-cession of See also:children, which is still held, is referred to an apocryphal See also:siege of the town by the See also:Hussites in 1432, but is probably connected with an incident in the See also:brothers' See also:war (1447–51), between the elector See also:Frederick II. of Saxony and his See also:brother See also:Duke William.
