In the 2nd and 3rd century AC, "Aquae Granni" was a flourishing township full of craftsmen and traders, its greatest attraction being its hot springs. All around Büchel, a complex of thermal baths and temples arose. One of the buildings whose remnants archaeologists found in the Elisengarten was probably a hostel where spa visitors and patients would have spent time in heated rooms each measuring 12 m2. Probes for the treatment of wounds and a pair of locking forceps unearthed on the site indicate that medical treatment was provided here.
