Baden-Baden is believed to have been established by the Roman Emperor Hadrian (although we are not exactly sure of the exact date). It was originally known as Aurelia Aquensis. It was renamed Baden in the Middle Ages. It only got the second Baden attached to its name in 1931, to distinguish it from other towns also called Baden, which means "baths".

Since the 19th century Baden-Baden has been a watering hole for German celebrities. The town is one of the few places in Germany with a casino.

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
