This is a little information about the town we live in....
It has been colonized for thousands of years; excavation findings from the Stone Age, Bronze Age, Iron Age from both Celtic, German, Roman and Franconian cultures have proved that the precious salt water bubbling up through the ground has drawn people to this area for a very long time.
During the Middle Ages, Nauheim belonged to the Duke of Muenzenberg. In 1225 it fell to the Duke of Falkenstein. Nauheim was inherited by the Duke of Hessen Kassel in 1736. Nauheim continued existence as a small village of less than 2000 ingabitants, making a living mining and trading salt, until 1853 when a Parisian businessman Viala built a gambling hall and growth began.
In 1869 Nauheim was officially renamed Bad Nauheim giving the town status as a health spa. Visitors came to see the bathhouses and imbible the waters or "take the cure". Clinics were built to hold several thousand patients, who still come to Bad Nauheim to be cured.
Bad Nauheim is also the home of the famed "healing walls" -- large frame structures filled with plants and herbs, the healing walls are believed to offer visitors who walk around them or sit beside them the benefit of natural healing and meditation.
