Bad Salzungen

Bad Salzungen sits along the Werra River and draws on natural saline springs that emerge from the ground and shape the water character of the place. In the center stands the Burgsee lake, which contributes to the town's appearance.

The town grew from a small settlement and later became known for treatments using saline water. After the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989, borders and administrative structures changed fundamentally.

The Jugendstil-Gradierwerk displays the architectural language of the early 20th century with its distinctive form and is a place where visitors can experience the design spirit of that era. The way this structure stands in the urban landscape shapes the town's character today.

The railway station connects the town to surrounding cities through regular train services, making it easy for visitors to arrive. Those who want to explore on foot will find pleasant paths along the river, and many areas are easily accessible.

A former military site from the time of divided Germany now serves a new purpose and tells of the country's past. Those interested in German division history can still find traces of that era here.
