Entry rules
Age, ID, dress and entry fee
The general rules first, then every house. Everything not confirmed on a page we could read says “check”.
General rules
ID
Every house checks and registers an ID at entry. Personalausweis and passport are accepted at most houses (Bad Ems names the Personalausweis only). Driving licences are accepted in Bad Reichenhall (EU licence) but not in Bad Homburg.
Dress
Slot halls are usually neat casual. The classic hall can ask for more: Baden-Baden requires a jacket for men; Bad Kissingen reportedly too.
