Bad Vilbel [ ˈfilbəl ] with 34,216 inhabitants (as of December 31, 2017) is the largest city in terms of population in the Hessian Wetteraukreis and borders the northern outskirts of Frankfurt am Main . It is known nationwide for its mineral springs .
geography
Geographical location
Bad Vilbel lies at an altitude of 109 m above sea level on the southern tip of the Wetterau , a stretch of land between Taunus and Vogelsberg that has been populated since the Neolithic because of its very fertile soils . Its end is the collection located in the south of Bad Vilbels Schoell mountain with the settlement Heilsberg and the city limits to Frankfurt.
Coming from Vogelsberg, the Nidda flows through the city to flow into the Main near Frankfurt-Höchst . In the southeast is the Vilbel forest . Fall winds and cold air currents from the Taunus ensure a complete exchange of air almost every day.
Neighboring communities
The neighboring districts are those of the city of Karben in the north, the municipality of Niederdorfelden ( Main-Kinzig district ) in the east, and the independent city of Frankfurt am Main in the south, west and southeast, which borders Bad Vilbel on almost three sides. It is so much closer to downtown Frankfurt than some parts of Frankfurt itself. That is why the political incorporation of Bad Vilbel into Frankfurt is always an issue.
City structure
Bad Vilbel today consists of the city center and four other districts:

history
For the history of the individual districts, see:
Prehistory and early history
In Vilbel there are traces of settlement from all times since the Neolithic ( band ceramic culture ) such as later the Celts , Teutons , Romans or Burgundians .
In the course of the construction of the Main-Weser Railway in 1848/1849, remains of Roman thermal baths were discovered near today's Bad Vilbel Süd stop .
The Roman bath had a magnificent mosaic. The original is now in the Landesmuseum Darmstadt , a replica of the mosaic can be viewed in its own glass pavilion in the spa gardens.
middle Ages
The oldest surviving mention of Vilbel comes from the year 774, when it was mentioned in a deed of donation to the Lorsch Monastery . The earliest surviving mention of the salt springs found in an exchange certificate Emperor Louis the Pious of 817. Subsequently Vilbel came under the rule of Ministerialengeschlechts the family of Hagen-Münzenberg , after their extinction in 1255 it was the Münzenberger inheritance between the Lords of Hanau and the Lords of Falkenstein shared. Within this condominium there was a real division with the nidda as the border. The part to the right of the Nidda belonged to the Falkensteiners, the part to the left of the Nidda to Hanau and was counted there as part of the Bornheimerberg court and later office . After the death of the last Falkensteiner in 1418, his share fell to the Electorate of Mainz . When the County of Hanau was divided in 1458, the Bornheimerberg - and with it Hanau's share in Vilbel - became part of the County of Hanau-Münzenberg .
The ministerial family of the Knights of Vilbel , which died out in the 17th century, also originated from Vilbel and had a heraldic shield divided into squares with a rose in the center. His most famous representative was the Benedictine abbot and chronicler Apollo von Vilbel († 1536).
Early modern age
Probably under the influence of the Counts of Hanau-Münzenberg, in whose county the Solms land law was customary , Vilbel also adopted this legal system. The common law was only valid if the Solms land law contained no provisions for a matter. The Solms land law also remained in force when Vilbel belonged to the Grand Duchy of Hesse in the 19th century , and was not replaced by the civil code that was uniformly applicable throughout the German Empire on January 1, 1900 .
After the death of the last Hanau count, Johann Reinhard III. , In 1736 Landgrave Friedrich I of Hessen-Kassel inherited the county of Hanau-Münzenberg with the Bornheimerberg office and thus also half of Vilbel. Since then the place has belonged to the Landgraviate of Hessen-Kassel . This situation lasted until the 19th century.
Modern times
After the territorial adjustments during the Napoleonic period, Vilbel came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse . It belonged to 1821 the Office Vilbel until 1832 for District District Vilbel and to 1848 for Kreis Friedberg . During the revolution of 1848, the Friedberg administrative district , which existed only for a short time, was dissolved again in 1852. This was followed by renewed membership in the Vilbel district until 1874 and then again in the Friedberg district for almost 100 years. Bad Vilbel has been in the Wetterau district since 1972.
In 1948, Vilbel was given the title bathroom due to its numerous sources , and in the same year it was also granted city rights . The former spa business was largely given up in the 1960s, so that in the 1990s there was a threat of the "bath" label being withdrawn. Since around the year 2000, considerable areas have been designated for residential development and service industries, including in Dortelweil-West and in the Krebsschere construction area between Bad Vilbel and Massenheim.
At the end of 2004 the Bad Vilbel District Court was closed.
From the beginning of 2012 to 2017, the use of electronic ankle cuffs was monitored throughout Germany from Bad Vilbel.
Incorporations
As part of the regional reform in Hesse , the municipality of Gronau was incorporated into Bad Vilbel on July 1, 1971 on a voluntary basis from the Hanau district . Dortelweil followed on December 31, 1971. The series of incorporations was completed with the incorporation of Massenheim on June 1, 1972. The city districts have partially grown together structurally and this process is continuing.

coat of arms
|
|
Blazon : “Divided and split at the top by gold and silver, each with three red rafters; divided below by red and gold. "
The coat of arms , confirmed by Grand Duke Ludwig of Hesse in 1858, goes back to a court seal from the 17th century. It illustrates the rulership in Vilbel before the Falkensteiner inheritance (1419) through the historical coats of arms of the noble families Hanau ( rafter in gold), Eppstein (rafter in silver) and Münzenberg-Falkenstein (lower half of the shield). In the older heraldic books the two rafter coats of arms were falsely drawn together; Otto Hupp brought the correct tinging for the first time. The city flag contains the coat of arms. Once a village on the northern border of the Dreieich Wildbanns , Vilbel became a market town in the 19th century and was named "Stadt" in 1858. |
Town twinning
Bad Vilbel maintains partnerships with the following cities:
- Glossop (England)
- Moulins (France)
- Brotterode (Germany)
- Eldoret (Kenya)
From 1972 on there was also a town twinning with Huizen in the Netherlands , which ended at the end of the 20th century.
Sponsorship
- In 1990, the sponsorship for the Sudeten Germans who were expelled from the cities of Tepl and Bečov and the rest of the communities in the Teplá district after the Second World War was adopted.
Culture, leisure and sights
Buildings
City center and spa gardens
In the center of Bad Vilbel there are many preserved Franconian half-timbered houses, especially the old town hall , which was built in 1498 and last restored in 2005. A multitude of old and new as well as artificial fountains throughout the city shows Bad Vilbel's history as a “spring city”, including the Roman fountain . The spa park is lavishly planted with primroses and tulips every spring and also offers facilities for leisure activities such as an indoor swimming pool and several playgrounds. The Kurhaus with its changing events can also be found there. Since May 2007 one of the most beautiful Roman mosaics in Germany can be seen in its own glass pavilion as a complete reconstruction in a water basin. The sea god Oceanus is depicted, surrounded by sea creatures, grotesque hybrid creatures and real animals.
In June 2013, Niddaplatz, called "New Center" during the construction phase, was opened on the site of the old central car park. Lined with many shops and a modern underground car park, it forms the new heart of Bad Vilbel and is well received by residents and tourists. The new city library, which was built on a bridge over the Nidda and houses a café, is an eye-catcher and architecturally worth seeing. The large concrete stairs along the Nidda and the previously missing part of the Niddaradweg were completed in May 2014 and invite you to relax.
Castle
In the northern part of the spa park on the banks of the Nidda are the ruins of Vilbel Castle , the oldest components of which date from the 12th century. It was partially or completely destroyed several times, most recently by the French army in 1796, and ultimately remained in ruins. Nevertheless, the preserved parts of the castle are still worth seeing and are the venue for castle festivals . The castle has been extensively repaired outside of the season since 2007.
Bad Vilbel Castle Festival
The Bad Vilbel Castle Festival , which has been taking place in the moated castle every year from the beginning of June to the beginning of September since 1987, is known nationwide. The focus is on the four own Bad Vilbeler productions, for which up to 40 artists are engaged. There is also a wide range of guest performances and matinees (cabaret and solo programs by well-known artists) as well as numerous theater performances for children. Since 2001, the Bad Vilbel Castle Festival has been part of the working group of ten German festival venues, an association of professional open-air theaters in Germany.

Chapels and churches have stood there since the early Middle Ages, first documented in writing in 1298. Destroyed in the Thirty Years War , two small inscriptions with the year “1697” in the portal of the north wall and in the sound cover of the pulpit testify to the reconstruction.
The Evangelical Christ Church was built in the center in the 1960s . Both churches, Resurrection Church and Christ Church, are used by the Evangelical Christ Church Congregation.
After the creation of the “Heilsberg” by the Evangelical Church in Hesse and Nassau in 1948, the Catholic parish was founded in 1957 with the title “Transfiguration of Christ”. The bell tower is separated from the church building. The parish "Transfiguration of Christ" belongs to the diocese of Mainz , like all Catholic parishes in this area.
Other, partly old Protestant and Catholic churches exist in all parts of the city. There is a New Apostolic Church on Alfred-Brehm-Strasse in the city center, the Syrian Orthodox Church Parish Yoldat Aloho (Mother of God Church) on Dieselstrasse and the mosque of the Turkish-Islamic Congregation ( DITIB ) on Büdinger Strasse .
