Bad Urach, Germany, postal code 72574

At the foot of the Swabian Alb, Bad Urach is known for its spa and therapeutic bath.

The area has been occupied since the early Stone Age. The town became a center for weaving. Wikipedia says: “It escaped serious damage during any wars and so remains in excellent historical condition.”

Avoiding war lends to a non-damaged area.

Interesting language, German. “Bad” references a spa; “bath,” I suppose. In the Army, I wondered when attacking or defending pretend German villages at Fort Hood and Fort Benning, at the designation “Rauthaus.” When learning it means “city hall,” I thought: How appropriate.

Famous people from Bad Urach include Max Friz, one of the three founders of BMW; Cem Ozedmir, politician; and Gunter Parche, criminal.
