Bad Dürrenberg, Spa town in Saalekreis district, Saxony-Anhalt, Germany

The municipality extends across 36 square kilometers along the Saale River, featuring residential areas and salt production facilities at 104 meters elevation.

Salt extraction began in 1741 when Johann Gottfried Borlach discovered brine containing 11% salt, leading to the construction of pumping towers.

The Brunnenfest celebration occurs during the last weekend of June, bringing together residents for three days of local traditions.

The town maintains multiple brine therapy facilities, including a renovated drinking hall that provides health treatments to visitors.

A Mesolithic burial site discovered in 1934 contained remains of a woman and baby, indicating early human settlement in this region.
