Historically, a Bader ran a public bathhouse and could also work as a barber or barber-surgeon. A Barbier, by contrast, was primarily responsible for cutting hair and grooming or shaving beards. Bader is therefore the appropriate term for the operator of a bathhouse.
Der Bader betrieb die Badestube und zog dort auch Zähne.
The bathhouse keeper ran the public bathhouse and also pulled teeth there.
Der Barbier rasierte seinen Kunden und schnitt ihm die Haare.
