Emma Jaeger:
Emma Franziska Kiehnle was born in Pforzheim on 19 November 1830, the daughter of a jewellery manufacturer. In 1856 she marries the export trader Konrad Josef Jaeger and moves with him to Hamburg. Her husband died in 1862 and Emma Jaeger returned to Pforzheim as a wealthy, childless widow. Her father's considerable fortune also passes to Emma Jaeger after his death. Emma Jaeger dies on 4 June 1900. She donated her fortune of around 1.1 million gold marks to several foundations, in particular the Volksbadefonds, which made it possible to build the Emma Jaeger Baths.

History:
The old Emma-Jaeger-Bad looks back on a long history: in 1911, the former Pforzheim municipal swimming pool at Emma-Jaeger-Straße 20 opened its doors for the first time. The generous benefactor Emma Jaeger donated 500,000 gold marks to the city around 100 years ago - more than two thirds of the construction sum. Even back then, the baths, located directly on the River Enz, were an impressive example of Art Nouveau architecture. Today, the municipal swimming pool ("Emma-Jaeger-Bad") is housed in a neighbouring building. The namesake and founder of the historic baths lives on in the name of the creative centre.
