History+

After the incorporation of today's Southwest Germany into the Roman Empire between 15 BC and 150 AD, the Romans brought their bathing culture to the region. Based on thermal springs already used by the Celts, spa and healing baths were established. The Badenweiler baths, dedicated to the goddess Diana Abnoba, were built in several construction phases. Initially, a small building with two bathing pools was constructed in the first half of the 1st century AD, which was later expanded to include reception and changing rooms, sweat rooms with cold water pools, and stone-enclosed terraces.
