Bad Langensalza
From Free net encyclopedia
Bad Langensalza (until 1956: Langensalza) is a city in the County of Unstrut-Hainich, Thuringia, Germany, with a population of 19,000 (2003).
In 1075, Langensalza was the site of the First Battle of Langensalza, in which Emperor Henry IV won over the rebelling Saxons and Thuringians. It was also the site of the 1866 battle between Prussia and Hanover during the Austro-Prussian War.
Langensalza is something of a tourist spot, with picturesque ruins of a medieval castle, and sulphur baths nearby.
