Bad Dürkheim

Bad Dürkheim stands at the edge of the Palatinate Forest along the German Wine Route, 30 kilometers east of Kaiserslautern and 20 kilometers west of Ludwigshafen.

The settlement dates back to Celtic inhabitants between 1200 and 500 BC, who constructed the Heidenmauer, a substantial ring wall still visible today.

The Dürkheimer Wurstmarkt wine festival brings more than 600,000 visitors annually to celebrate the regional wine production and local traditions.

The town maintains multiple educational facilities including primary schools, secondary schools, and vocational training centers for students of various academic levels.

The Giant Cask of Dürkheim functions as a restaurant and holds the record for being the largest wine barrel structure in the world.
