Willingen, Climatic health resort in Waldeck-Frankenberg, Germany.

Located in the Rothaar Mountains between the Hoppecke and Itter rivers, Willingen extends across valleys at elevations between 550 and 619 meters.

The municipality formed in 1874 through the unification of multiple villages and remained part of the Free State of Waldeck until joining Prussia in 1929.

The municipal coat of arms displays interlocking arrows representing regional woods and a snowflake symbolizing the winter sports heritage of the area.

The Uplandbahn railway line connects the municipality to Korbach and Brilon-Wald, making it accessible for the 6,422 residents and numerous visitors.

The Mühlenkopfschanze ski jumping facility hosts annual FIS World Cup events, establishing Willingen as a primary winter sports destination in northern Hesse.
