Abstract
The Aachen hot springs flow out from Upper Devonian limestones at the Variscan thrust front of the Rhenish Massif. Hydrogeochemical analyses were used to determine the origin of the water and show that sodium, chloride, and sulfate originate from dissolving evaporites that are influenced by meteoric groundwater. The circulation depths of the Aachen thermal water is estimated to be >3500 m using SiO2-geothermometry and the regional geothermal gradient of about 30°C/km. The deep circulation in Paleozoic sandstones, silt-stones and shales and a considerable residence time allow rock water reactions which explain the concentrations of Ba, Sr, F and Si. While the thermal water rises into Upper Devonian limestones carbonates are dissolved. Cooler fresh water from the vicinity contributes to the thermal aquifer depending on the pressure head of the springs. Sulfate reduction coupled with methane oxidation can be observed as soon as the water temperature is below 65 °C.
