Leprosenhaus Bad Wurzach

The Leprosenhaus contains exhibits about medical practices, patient life conditions, and treatment methods from the Middle Ages through modern times.

First documented in 1355, this leprosarium operated until 1782, serving as a sanctuary for leprosy patients outside the city walls of Wurzach.

The museum displays artifacts, documents, and a medicinal herb garden that demonstrate the evolution of healthcare practices in German society.

Visitors can explore the 15-room facility through guided tours that explain the building's medical history and its transformation into a cultural institution.

The Leprosenberg site witnessed a battle in 1525 where 7,000 peasants confronted an equal number of Swabian League forces.
