Everything about Badenweiler totally explained
Badenweiler, a
health resort and spa of the
Breisgau-Hochschwarzwald district of
Baden-Württemberg,
Germany, historically in the
Markgräflerland. It is 28 kilometers by road and rail from
Basel, 10 kilometers from the
French border, and 20 kilometes away from
Mulhouse. The permanent population is about 600; the nearest big city on the
German side of the border is
Freiburg, about 30 kilometers away. Badenweiler lies at the western edge of the
Black Forest. It is sheltered by the Blauen, 1164 m (3820 ft), and the climate is excellent. Its parish (Evangelical) church (
1897) is built at the foot of an
11th-century castle which belonged to the
margraves of
Baden and was destroyed by the French during the wars of
Louis XV.
Badenweiler is visited by some 5000 people annually. Some come for its warm mineral springs, with temperatures of 21
°C (70
°F), others for its whey cure, and still others on account of its equable climate and picturesque surroundings. There is a
Kurhaus, built in
1853, and a park of 15 acres (61,000 m²), as well as a grand-ducal castle, refitted in
1887–
88. In
1784 well-preserved Roman baths were discovered here.

American poet,
novelist, and
journalist Stephen Crane died there on June 15, 1900, after contracting tuberculosis.
