Bad Liebenzell

Bad Liebenzell is a spa town in the Nagold River valley in the northern Black Forest. The settlement sits at moderate elevation and features thermal springs along with wellness amenities built into its landscape.

The settlement was first recorded in 1090 and grew around the medieval Liebenzell Castle, a key fortification in the Württemberg area of the Black Forest. This castle remained a dominant landmark for centuries as the region developed around it.

The Liebenzeller Mission shapes community life and provides theological education, forming a deep connection between faith and local identity. This religious presence continues to influence how people gather and interact in the town.

The town is well connected by the Nagoldtalbahn railway line to major stations like Pforzheim and Horb am Neckar, making travel straightforward. Thermal bath and wellness facilities are easily accessible throughout the town for day visits or longer stays.

The town's coat of arms displays a golden bathtub with a seated figure, a rare heraldic symbol that reflects its thermal heritage. This unusual emblem tells visitors that wellness traditions run deep in the place's identity and history.
