*************

Baden-Baden is a spa town in the state of Baden-Württemberg, south-western Germany, at the north-western border of the Black Forest mountain range on the small river Oos, ten kilometres (six miles) east of the Rhine, the border with France, and forty kilometres (twenty-five miles) north-east of Strasbourg, France.

he springs at Baden-Baden were known to the Romans as Aquae ("The Waters")^{[citation needed]} and Aurelia Aquensis("Aurelia-of-the-Waters") after M. Aurelius Severus Alexander Augustus.^[2]

In modern German, Baden is a noun meaning "bathing"^[3] but Baden, the original name of the town, derives from an earlier plural form of Bad ("bath").^[4] (The modern plural has become Bäder.)^[5] As with the English placename "Bath",various other Badens are at hot springs throughout Central Europe. The current doubled name arose to distinguish itfrom the others,^[4] particularly Baden near Vienna in Austria and Baden near Zürich in Switzerland. It is a reference to the Margraviate of Baden-Baden (1535–1771), a subdivision of the Margraviate of Baden, the territory named after the town. Baden-Baden got its formal name in 1931.^[6]

Baden-Baden lies in a valley^[7] of the Northern Black Forest in southwestern Germany.^[8] The western districts lie within the Upper Rhine Plain. The highest mountain of Baden-Baden is the Badener Höhe (1,002.5 m above sea level (NHN)^[9]), which is part of the Black Forest National Park. The old town lies on the side of a hill on the right bank of the Oos.^[7] Since the 19th century, the principal resorts have been located on the other side of the river.^[7] There are 29 natural springs in the area, varying in temperature from 46 to 67 °C (115 to 153 °F).^[7] The water is rich in salt and flows from artesian wells 1,800 m (5,900 ft) under Florentine Hill^[10] at a rate of 341 litre (90 gallons) per minute and is conveyed through pipes to the town's baths.^[7]
