Bad Wimpfen

Bad Wimpfen is a small town on the Neckar in Baden-Württemberg, with an upper town on a hill around the remains of one of the largest Hohenstaufen imperial palaces and a lower town, Wimpfen im Tal, around the collegiate church of St. Peter. It was a free imperial city until 1802 and then a Hessian exclave until 1952. The Battle of Wimpfen was fought nearby in 1622.
