Why Bad Kissingen — and why the entire May

Bad Kissingen, the traditional Staatsbad in Lower Franconia, has been one of Germany's most famous spa towns since the 19th century — Otto von Bismarck was a spa guest, as were Wilhelm I and Empress Sissi. Today, the town is a recognized UNESCO World Heritage site as part of the "Great Spa Towns of Europe" and remains one of Germany's largest health resorts. The Health Weeks are the annual summer showcase of this spa town's expertise: For four weeks, rehabilitation clinics, therapy centers, sports clubs, pharmacies, and self-help groups open their doors.

Over 300 events, over 100 participants

The format is deliberately diverse: medical lectures (e.g., on diabetes therapy, cardiovascular prevention, rheumatology), practical workshops (yoga, Nordic walking, breathing techniques), markets (Health Market in the city center), action days (Health & Fitness Action Day), symposia for professionals (physiotherapy, case management rehabilitation). In addition, major sporting events like the "run & fun" race on the tournament grounds on the last day of May.

Motto "Bad Kissingen bewegt sich"

The 2026 motto — "Bad Kissingen bewegt sich" (Bad Kissingen is moving) — encapsulates the event's program: health as active doing, not just treatment. From morning yoga in the Kurgarten to the 5k run on the tournament grounds at the end of the month, May is intended to become a collective initiative for movement — for both the town's residents and the guests of the spa region.
