History
The first historical reference to the settlement dates back to 819. In 1239, it received town privileges from Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor. The town became a possession of the House of Habsburg in 1299, and thus part of Further Austria. In Napoleonic times, it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Württemberg.
During World War II, a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp was located in the town.[4] In 2005, a memorial commemorating the camp and the victims was inaugurated at the camp's former location.[5]
After World War II, Saulgau was part of the French occupation zone in 1945 and became part of the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947, which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
In 2000, the name of the town was officially changed from Saulgau to Bad Saulgau, where the German Bad refers to its spa facilities and important natural thermal source.
Education
Apart from nursery schools, Bad Saulgau has several public schools from primary to secondary level, for vocational training as well as a centre for secondary schools specialised in economics or technical training. (Technisches Gymnasium, Wirtschaftsgymnasium)
The Toin Gakuen Schule Deutschland, a Japanese international boarding secondary school, was previously located in Bad Saulgau, but closed in 2012.[6]
