Bad Wimpfen, Spa town in Heilbronn district, Germany.

Located on the western bank of the Neckar River, Bad Wimpfen consists of two distinct areas: Upper Wimpfen and Lower Wimpfen at 195 meters elevation.

The settlement began during the Neolithic period, later becoming a Roman fortification in 98 AD before developing into a medieval market town in 965.

The Stauferpfalz imperial palace, Red Tower, and Stone House museum display the architectural evolution from Roman times through medieval German craftsmanship.

The town maintains active spa facilities and therapeutic centers, offering health treatments based on traditional salt extraction methods established in 1817.

The Blue Tower, part of the medieval fortification system, stands as the highest structure in Bad Wimpfen, functioning as a fire watchtower until 1920.
