Bad Vilbel

Bad Vilbel is a town in Wetteraukreis, Hesse, that spreads across the landscape along the Nidda River valley. The area includes residential neighborhoods, business zones, and four railway stations that serve as important transit hubs.

The town was first documented in 774 and experienced a turning point in 1848 when construction workers uncovered a Roman villa featuring thermal baths and mosaics. This archaeological discovery highlighted the area's ancient importance.

The town maintains mineral water production facilities, connecting various springs through an extensive network of industrial pipelines across the region.

Four railway stations within the town connect residents and visitors to Frankfurt and surrounding areas through frequent regional and local services. The proximity to Frankfurt makes it easy to reach by public transport from the greater region.

The mineral springs received official recognition in 1948 with the 'Bad' designation, reflecting a long tradition of water use in the region. Different bottling companies continue to draw on the varying mineral compositions from local springs to produce their products.
