FOR MANY YEARS, MY MAN AND I HAVE BEEN ENJOYED SAUNA. When we decided on a plot of land and house near Lake Chiemsee in Bavaria ten years ago, we knew that a Finnish sauna should not be missing in the garden behind the house, right near the lake. Said and done. Today we use our sauna almost every day. We recently bought a new sauna accessory set from Alsatian sauna technology. It was the nine-part set "All-in". Since wood is simply predestined for the sauna, I immediately enjoyed the great manufacture of many individual parts in beautiful, haptically pleasant light wood: a climate meter, an hourglass, a 30 centimeter ladle, a suitable infusion bucket with a capacity of two liters and an infusion wall shelf. Everything fit together visually and was just the right size for our compact sauna cabin. The wall shelf contained four different infusion concentrates, each 100 milliliters. Both "Citrus" and "Winter Dream" as well as "Eucalyptus" and "Mint" were extremely pleasant. The scents were precisely concentrated so that they smelled subtle and not too intrusive. My personal favorite was, depending on the season, the sweeter “winter dream”, while my husband liked “mint” the best. However, our two highlight was the “Lavender honey cream”, which made the skin wonderfully soft and soft. The small peeling grains contained therein remove old skin cells and if you massage the cream in circular movements, the blood circulation is promoted. A dream! The set was completed by the menthol crystals, which we simply placed on the hot sauna stones without water. Here they unfold their refreshing effect immediately. That was great for the airways. You only need a few crystals so that you can enjoy the delivered amount for a long time. Finally, we found the manual "Everything about sauna bathing" interesting, which even for sauna bunnies like us had previously unknown facts. The bath control panel is also perfect for positioning it in front of the sauna for guests. Our conclusion: A really successful sauna accessory set that we can only recommend.

50th anniversary of the takeover of the Elsässer company by Mr. Rainer Hahn

On 01.01.1968 Mr. Rainer Hahn took over the Elsässer company in Augsburg after the company owner Eugen Elsässer died in a traffic accident and he had no biological children. From 01.09.1959 to 01.03.1962, Mr. Rainer Hahn trained as an industrial clerk at the Elsässer company and secured the survival of the traditional company founded by Johann Elsässer in 1905 with the takeover of the Elsässer company. Elsässer was originally founded to manufacture welding equipment, but for a long time it was known and loved in the region for its all-purpose stoves and stoves. In the 1950s, the company was one of the pioneers in the production of sauna heaters in Germany. In the 1960s, production was mainly switched to sauna stoves and in the 1970s trading in sauna accessories began. In 2003, Mr. Rainer Hahn handed over the management to his two sons, whom he is still available today as a consultant. Thanks to its long market knowledge and technical know-how, the Elsässer company has developed a large number of products in the area of sauna accessories and technology, and in some cases holds European patents for them. It currently supplies sauna builders and specialist dealers worldwide, as well as more recently door manufacturers and specialist dealers with their own door hinges, locks and handles.
