Bad Neustadt an der Saale

Located at an elevation of 242 meters, Bad Neustadt sits along the Franconian Saale and Brend rivers near the Rhön Mountains in northern Bavaria.

The settlement dates to 742 with the establishment of St. Martin Church in Brendlorenzen, followed by Charlemagne's foundation of the palatinate Salz.

The town maintains strong connections through the Neustadt in Europe community, organizing student exchanges with similarly named municipalities across five nations.

Bad Neustadt houses the Rhön Klinikum AG medical center, which delivers specialized cardiac and hand surgical procedures to patients from across Germany.

The medieval town walls form a heart shape, connected to a tale about Charlemagne constructing the settlement as a gift for his wife Fastrada.
