The town is located in theNahe River wine region, renowned both nationally and internationally for its wines, especially from theRiesling,Silvaner andMüller-Thurgau grape varieties.

Bad Kreuznach does not lie within anyVerbandsgemeinde, even though it is the seat of theBad Kreuznach (Verbandsgemeinde). The town is the seat of several courts, as well as federal and state authorities. Bad Kreuznach is also officially agroße kreisangehörige Stadt ("large town belonging to a district"), meaning that it does not have the district-level powers thatkreisfreie Städte ("district-free towns/cities") enjoy.^[4] It is, nonetheless, the district seat, and also the seat of the state chamber of commerce for Rhineland-Palatinate. It is classed as amiddle centre with some functions of an upper centre, making it the administrative, cultural and economic hub of a region with more than 150,000 inhabitants.

Bad Kreuznach lies between theHunsrück,Rhenish Hesse and theNorth Palatine Uplands, some 14 kilometres (8.7 mi)as the crow flies south-southwest ofBingen am Rhein. It lies at the mouth of the Ellerbach, where it empties into the lowerNahe.

Clockwise from the north, Bad Kreuznach's neighbours are the municipalities ofBretzenheim,Langenlonsheim,Gensingen,Welgesheim,Zotzenheim,Sprendlingen,Badenheim (these last five lying in the neighbouringMainz-Bingen district),Biebelsheim,Pfaffen-Schwabenheim,Volxheim,Hackenheim,Frei-Laubersheim,Altenbamberg,Traisen,Hüffelsheim,Rüdesheim an der Nahe,Roxheim,Hargesheim andGuldental.

Bad Kreuznach's outlyingOrtsbezirke orStadtteile are Bosenheim, Ippesheim, Planig, Winzenheim andBad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg.

Yearlyprecipitation in Bad Kreuznach amounts to 517 mm, which is very low, falling into the lowest third of the precipitation chart for all Germany. Only at 5% of theGerman Weather Service'sweather stations are even lower figures recorded. The driest month is January. The most rainfall comes in June. In that month, precipitation is 1.8 times what it is in January. Precipitation varies only slightly. At only 7% of the weather stations are lower seasonal swings recorded.

As early as the 5th century BC, there is conclusive evidence that there was aCeltic settlement within what are now Bad Kreuznach's town limits. About 58 BC, the area became part of theRoman Empire and aRomanvicus came into being here, named, according to legend, after a Celt called Cruciniac, who transferred a part of his land to the Romans for them to build a supply station betweenMainz (Mogontiacum) andTrier (Augusta Treverorum). Kreuznach lay on theRoman road that led fromMetz (Divodurum), by way of theSaar crossing nearDillingen-Pachten (Contiomagus) and the Vicus Wareswald, nearTholey toBingen am Rhein (Bingium).^[6] About AD 250, an enormous (measuring 81 × 71 m), luxuriouspalace, unique to the lands north of theAlps, was built, in the style of aperistylevilla. It contained 50 rooms on the ground floor alone.Spolia found near theHeidenmauer ("Heathen Wall") have led to the conclusion that there were atemple to eitherMercury or both Mercury andMaia and aGallo-Roman provincialtheatre.^[7] According to an inscription and tile plates that were found in Bad Kreuznach, avexillatio of theLegio XXII Primigenia was stationed there. In the course of measures to shore up the Imperial border against theGermanicAlemannic tribes who kept making incursions across thelimes into the Empire, anauxiliary castrum was built in 370 underEmperorValentinian I.

AfterRome's downfall, Kreuznach became in the year 500 a royal estate and animperial village in the newly growingFrankish Empire. Then, the town's first church was built within the old castrum's walls, which was at first consecrated toSaint Martin, but later toSaint Kilian, and in 1590, it was torn down. According to an 822 document fromLouis the Pious, who was invoking an earlier document fromCharlemagne, about 741, Saint Martin's Church in Kreuznach was supposedly donated to theBishopric of Würzburg by his forebearCarloman.^[8] According to this indirect note, Kreuznach once again had a documentary mention in theAnnales regni Francorum as RoyalPfalz (an imperial palace), where Louis the Pious stayed in 819 and 839. Kreuznach was mentioned in documents by Louis the Pious (in 823 asvilla Cruciniacus^[9] and in 825 and 839, asCruciniacum castrum orCruciniacum palatium regium),Louis the German (in 845 asvilla Cruzinacha and in 868 asvilla Cruciniacum),Charles III, "the Fat" (in 882 asC[h]rucinachum,Crutcinacha,Crucenachum),Arnulf of Carinthia (in 889),Henry the Fowler (in 923),Otto I, Holy Roman Emperor (in 962 asCruciniacus) andFrederick I, Holy Roman Emperor (in 1179 asCruczennach).^[10] On the other hand, theCrucinaha inEmperor Otto III's documents from 1000 (which granted the rights to hold a yearly market and to strike coins)^[11] is today thought to refer to Christnach, an outlying centre ofWaldbillig, a town nowadays inLuxembourg.^[12] Inmediaeval and early modernLatin sources, Kreuznach is named not only asCrucenacum,Crucin[i]acum (adjectiveCrucenacensis,Crucin[i]acensis) and the like, but also asStauronesus, Stauronesum (adjectiveStaurone[n]s[i]us; from σταυρός "cross" and νῆσος "island"^[13]) orNaviculacrucis (fromnavicula, a kind of small boat used on inland waterways, called aNachen in German, andcrux "cross"). Sometimes also encountered is the abbreviationXnach (often with aFraktur X, with a cross-stroke:${\displaystyle \mathfrak{X}}$ ). About 1017,Henry II, Holy Roman Emperor enfeoffed his wifeCunigunde's grandnephew, Count Eberhard V ofNellenburg, with the noble estate of Kreuznach and theVillaSchwabenheim belonging thereto. After his death,King Henry IV supposedly donated the settlement of Kreuznach to theHigh Foundation ofSpeyer in 1065,^[14] who then transferred it shortly after 1105 – presumably as afief – to theCounts of Sponheim. OnEpiphany 1147, it is said thatBernard of Clairvaux performed a miraculous healing atSaint Kilian's Church. In 1183, half of the old Frankish village of Kreuznach at the former Roman castrum – theOsterburg – burnt down. Afterwards, of the 21 families there, 11 moved to what is now the Old Town (Altstadt). In the years 1206 to 1230, Counts Gottfried III of Sponheim (d. 1218) and Johann I of Sponheim (d. 1266) had thecastle Kauzenburg built, even though KingPhilip of Swabia had forbidden them to do so. Along with the building of this castle came the rise of the New Town (Neustadt) on theNahe's north bank. In the years 1235 and 1270, Kreuznach was granted town rights, market rights, taxation rights and tolling rights under the rule of the comitalHouse of Sponheim, which were acknowledged once again in 1290 byKing Rudolf I of Habsburg. In 1279, in the Battle ofSprendlingen, the legend of Michel Mort arose. He is a local legendary hero, a butcher from Kreuznach who fought on the Sponheim side in the battle against the troops of theArchbishop of Mainz. When Count Johann I of Sponheim found himself in difficulties, Michel Mort drew the enemy's lances upon himself, sparing the Count by bringing about his own death. Early knowledge of the town of Kreuznach is documented in one line of a song by the minstrelTannhäuser from the 13th century, which is preserved in handwriting byHans Sachs:"vur creűczenach rint aűch die na".^[15] In Modern German, this would be "Vor Kreuznach rinnt auch die Nahe" ("Before Kreuznach, the Nahe also runs"). Records witnessJewish settlement in Kreuznach beginning in the late 13th century, while for a short time in the early 14th century,North Italian traders ("Lombards") lived in town.^[16] In the 13th century, Kreuznach was a fortified town and in 1320, it withstood asiege by Archbishop-ElectorBaldwin ofTrier (about 1270–1336). In 1361,Charles IV, Holy Roman Emperor granted Count Walram I of Sponheim (about 1305–1380) a yearly market privilege for Kreuznach. In 1375, the townsfolk rose up against the town council. Count Walram's response was to have four of the uprising's leadersbeheaded at the marketplace. Through its long time as Kreuznach's lordly family, theHouse of Sponheim had seven heads:

• Simon I (1223–1264)
• John I (1265–1290)
• John II (1290–1340) and Simon II (1290–1336)
• Walram (1336–1380)
• Simon III (1380–1414)
• Elisabeth (1414–1417)

In 1417, however, the "Further" line of the House of Sponheim died out when Countess Elisabeth ofSponheim-Kreuznach (1365–1417) died. In herwill, she divided the county betweenElectoral Palatinate and theCounty of Sponheim-Starkenburg, bequeathing to them one fifth and four-fifths respectively. In 1418,King Sigismund ofLuxembourg enfeoffed Count Johann V of Sponheim-Starkenburg (about 1359–1437) with the yearly market, themint, the Jews at Kreuznach and theright of escort, as far asGensingen on theTrier-Mainz highway. In 1437, the lordship over Kreuznach was divided up between theCounts of Veldenz, theMargraves of Baden andPalatinate-Simmern. In 1457, at a time when a children's crusade movement was on the rise, 120 children left Kreuznach on their way toMont-Saint-Michel by way ofWissembourg.^[17] In 1475, Electoral Palatinate issued a comprehensive police act for theAmt of Kreuznach, in which at this time, no BadishAmtmann resided.Elector Palatine Philip the Upright andJohn I, Count Palatine of Simmern granted the town leave to hold a second yearly market in 1490. In that same year, Elector Palatine Philip bestowed ownership of thesaltz- und badbronnen ("salty and bathingsprings") upon his cooks Conrad Brunn and Matthes von Nevendorf. The briny springs were likely discovered in 1478; nevertheless, aSulzer Hof in what is today called the Salinental ("Saltworks Dale") had already been mentioned in the 13th or 14th century. On 24 August 1495,^[18] there was another uprising of the townsfolk, but this one was directed at Kreuznach's PalatineAmtmann, Albrecht V Göler von Ravensburg, who had refused to release a prisoner against the posting of a bond. Nobody was beheaded this time, but Elector Palatine Philip did have a few of the leadersmaimed, and then put into force a new town order.^[19]

The town wall, first mentioned in 1247,^[20] had a footprint that formed roughly a square in the Old Town, and was set back a few metres from what are today the streets Wilhelmstraße, Salinenstraße and Schloßstraße, with the fourth side skirting the millpond. Serving as town gates were, in the north, theKilianstor or theMühlentor ("Saint Kilian's Gate" or "Mill Gate"; torn down in 1877), in the southeast theHackenheimer Tor (later theMannheimer Tor; torn down in 1860) and in the south theSt.-Peter-Pförtchen, which lay at the end of Rossstraße, and which for security was often walled up. In the New Town, the town wall ran from theButterfass ("Butterchurn"; later serving as the prison tower) on theNahe riverbank up to the intersection of Wilhelmstraße and Brückes onBundesstraße 48, where to the northwest theLöhrpforte (also called theLehrtor or theBinger Tor; torn down about 1837) was found. It then ran in a bow between Hofgartenstraße and Hochstraße to theRüdesheimer Tor in the southwest at the beginning of Gerbergasse, whose course it then followed down to the Ellerbach and along the Nahe as a riverbank wall. Along this section, the town wall contained theFischerpforte orEllerpforte as awatergate and in the south, theGroße Pforte ("Great Gate") at the bridge across the Nahe. Belonging to the fortified complex of the Kauzenburg, across the Ellerbach from the New Town, were theKlappertor and a narrow, defensiveward (zwinger), from which the street known as "Zwingel" gets its name. On the bridge over to theait (or theWörth as it is called locally; the river island between the two parts of town) stood theBrückentor ("Bridge Gate"). To defend the town there was, besides the castle'sBurgmannen, also a kind of townsmen's defence force or shooting guild (somewhat like a townmilitia). Preserved as anincunable print from 1487, printed inMainz byPeter Schöffer (about 1425–1503), is an invitation from the mayor and town council to any and all who considered themselves good marksmen with thecrossbow to come to a shooting contest on 23 September.^[21]

On 31 March 1283 (2Nisan 5043) in Kreuznach (קרויצנאך),Rabbi Ephraim bar Elieser ha-Levi – apparently as a result of a judicial sentence – wasbroken on the wheel.^[22] The execution was likely linked to the Mainzblood libel accusations, which in March and April 1283 also led topogroms inMellrichstadt,Mainz,Bacharach andRockenhausen.

In 1311, Aaron Judeus de Crucenaco (the last three words mean "theJew from Kreuznach") was mentioned, as was a Jewish toll gatherer fromBingen am Rhein named Abraham von Kreuznach in 1328, 1342 and 1343. In 1336,Emperor Louis the Bavarian allowed Count Johann II of Sponheim-Kreuznach to permanently keep 60 house-owning freed Jews at Kreuznach or elsewhere on his lands ("… daß er zu Creützenach oder anderstwoh in seinen landen 60 haußgesäsß gefreyter juden ewiglich halten möge …").^[23] After further persecution in the time of thePlague in 1348/1349,^[24] there is no further evidence of Jews in Kreuznach until 1375. By 1382 at the latest, the Jew Gottschalk (who died sometime between 1409 and 1421)^[25] fromKatzenelnbogen was living in Kreuznach and owned the house at the corner of Lämmergasse and Mannheimerstraße 12 (later: Löwensteiner Hof) near theEiermarkt ("Egg Market"). On a false charge ofusury, Count Simon III of Sponheim (after 1330–1414) had him thrown in prison and only released him after payment of a hefty ransom. He was afterwards taken intoprotection byRuprecht III of the Palatinate against a yearly payment of 10Rhenish guilders. At Gottschalk's suggestion, Archbishop Johann ofNassau-Wiesbaden-Idstein lifted the "dice toll" for Jews crossing the border into theArchbishopric of Mainz. The special taxes for Jews ordered in 1418 and 1434 byKing Sigismund of Luxembourg were also imposed in Kreuznach.^[26]

In theMiddle Ages, the eastern part of today's Poststraße in the New Town was theJudengasse ("Jews' Lane"). TheKleine Judengasse ran from theJudengasse to what is today called Magister-Faust-Gasse.^[27] In 1482, a "Jewish school" was mentioned, which might already have stood at Fährgasse 2 (lane formerly known asKleine Eselsgass – "Little Ass's Lane"), where the Old Synagogue of Bad Kreuznach later stood (first mentioned here in 1715; newBaroque building in 1737; renovated in 1844; destroyed in 1938; torn down in 1953/1954; last wall remnant removed in 1975). In 1525,Louis V, Elector Palatine allowed Meïr Levi^[28] to settle for, at first, twelve years in Kreuznach, to organise themoney market there, to receive visits, to lay out his own burial plot and to deal in medicines. In the earlier half of the 16th century, his son, the physician Isaak Levi, whose collection of medical works became well known asDes Juden buch von kreuczenach ("The Jew's Book of/from Kreuznach"), lived in Kreuznach. The work is preserved in a manuscript transcribed personally by Louis V, Elector Palatine.^[29] The oldest Jewish graveyard in Kreuznach lay in the area of today'sRittergut Bangert (knightly estate), having been mentioned in 1525 and 1636.^[30] The Jewish graveyard on Stromberger Straße was bought in 1661 (one preserved gravestone, however, dates from 1630) and expanded in 1919. It is said to be one of the best preserved inRhineland-Palatinate. The Jewish family Creizenach, originally from Kreuznach, is known from records to have been inMainz andFrankfurt am Main from 1733, and to have produced a number of important academics (Michael Creizenach,Theodor Creizenach, andWilhelm Creizenach).^[31] TheYiddish name for Kreuznach was צלם־מקום (abbreviated צ״מ), variously rendered inLatin script asZelem-Mochum orCelemochum (with the initial Z or C intended totransliterate the letter "צ", as they would be pronounced /ts/ in German), which literally meant "Image Place", for pious Jews wished to avoid the termKreuz ("cross").^[32] In 1828, 425 of the 7,896 inhabitants of theBürgermeisterei ("Mayoralty") of Kreuznach (5.4%) adhered to theJewish faith, as did 611 of the town's 18,143 inhabitants (3.4%) in 1890.

Before theThirty Years' War, Kreuznach had some 8,000 inhabitants and seven monasteries. In theMiddle Ages and early modern times, the following monasteries were mentioned:^[33]

• Saint Mary's Monastery (St. Marien-Kloster; monastery's nature legendary) or Saint Mary's Church (St. Marien-Kirche) on the ait, supposedly endowed by KingDagobert I (d. 639) on the site wherePaul'sProtestant Church (Pauluskirche) now stands.
• Saint Kilian's Monastery (Kloster St. Kilian; old parish church; monastery's nature unclear), in theOsterburg (oldRomancastrum,Charlemagne's palace) on theHeidenmauer ("Heathen Wall") built on the site of theConstantinianSaint Martin's Church (St. Martins-Kirche), first mentioned about 741 and destroyed by theNormans about 891,^[34] tied with a hospital in 1310; in the 14th century there was aBeguine cell with prayer house; the monastery was torn down about 1590. The patrocinia of Saint Martin and Saint Kilian were then added to Saint Mary's Church on the ait.
• Augustinian convent ofSaint Peter, endowed by Rhinegrave Wolfram I (III) of Stein (d. about 1179) about 1140,^[35] incorporated into theSchwabenheim Augustinian monastery in 1437, moved to the so-calledBubenkapelle ("Lads' Chapel") in 1491, reoccupied in 1495, dissolved in 1566/1568; the 15 nuns who were driven out went toEibingen Abbey. In 1624, an attempt to reoccupy the complex by Augustinian monks failed;Jesuits settled there in 1636 and in 1648 they were granted it by agreement, todayOranienhof. ThePietà from Saint Peter, for whose reverence a forty-dayindulgence was secured fromPope Alexander VI in 1502, was kept until its destruction in 1942 atSt. Quintin's Church, Mainz.
• Carmelite Monastery toSaint Nicholas, so-calledSchwarz-Kloster ("Black Monastery"), endowed in 1281 by the comitalHouse of Sponheim, confirmed in 1290 by Archbishop Gerhard II of Eppstein of Mainz (about 1230–1305), dissolved in 1802.
• Saint Anthony's andSaint Catherine's Chapel (St. Antonius-und-St.-Katharinen-Kapelle; also called theBubenkapelle) on the way into Mühlengasse ("Mill Lane"), which belonged to the Schwabenheim Augustinian monastery; it was here, right inside the town, that Count Walram of Sponheim (about 1305–1380) moved theBeguine cell from Saint Kilian's, given up in 1437; reoccupied by Augustinian nuns from 1491 to 1495, then moved to Saint Peter's.
• Saint Wolfgang'sFranciscan Monastery (Franziskanerkloster St. Wolfgang), endowed in 1472 byFrederick I, Elector Palatine and Count PalatineFrederick I ofSimmern, confirmed byPope Sixtus IV, dissolved in 1802, now theGymnasium an der Stadtmauer ("Gymnasium on the Town Wall").
• Saint Vincent's Monastery, location unclear, existed in theThirty Years' War and later.
• Jesuit occupation about 1623, 1625 to 1632 and 1636 to 1652 in the quire of the Ait Church (Wörthkirche), later called the Bridge Church (Brückenkirche) and now Paul's Church (Pauluskirche), received in 1631 fromFerdinand II, Holy Roman EmperorSaint Peter's and took ownership in 1636. In Kreuznach, the study prefect Johann Engelbert Oliverius worked and died.^[36]

ThePlague threatened Kreuznach several times throughout its history. Great epidemics are recorded as having broken out in 1348/1349 (Johannes Trithemius spoke of 1,600 victims), 1364, 1501/1502, 1608, 1635 (beginning in September) and 1666 (reportedly 1,300 victims). During the 1501 epidemic, thehumanist and Palatine prince-raiser Adam Werner von Themar, one of Abbot Trithemius's friends, wrote a poem in Kreuznach about the plague saint,Sebastian.^[37] Outside the town, asickhouse forlepers, the so-calledGutleuthof, was founded on the Gräfenbach down from the village ofHargesheim and had its first documentary mention in 1487.

In theWar of the Succession of Landshut against Elector PalatinePhilip ofthe Rhine, both the town and thecastle were unsuccessfully besieged for six days byAlexander, Count Palatine of Zweibrücken andWilliam I, Landgrave of Lower Hesse, who then laid the surrounding countryside waste. TheSponheim abbotJohannes Trithemius had brought the monasterial belongings, the library and thearchive to safety in Kreuznach. The besieged town was relieved byElectoral Palatinate Captain Hans III,Landschad of Steinach.^[38] In 1507, MasterFaust assumed the rector's post at the KreuznachLatin school, which had been secured for him byFranz von Sickingen. On the grounds of allegations offornication, he fled the town only a short time afterwards, as witnessed by a letter^[39] fromJohannes Trithemius toJohannes Virdung, in which Virdung was warned about Faust.Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor, who spentWhitsun 1508 inBoppard, stayed in Kreuznach in June 1508 and wrote from there to his daughter DuchessMargaret ofSavoy.^[40] In 1557, theReformation was introduced into Kreuznach. According to the 1601Verzeichnis aller Herrlich- und Gerechtigkeiten der Stätt und Dörffer der vorderen Grafschaft Sponheim im Ampt Creutznach ("Directory of All Lordships and Justices of the Towns and Villages of the FurtherCounty of Sponheim in theAmt of Kreuznach"), compiled by Electoral PalatinateOberamtmann Johann von Eltz-Blieskastel-Wecklingen,^[41] the town had 807 estates and was the seat of aHofgericht (lordly court) to which the "free villages" ofWaldböckelheim,Wöllstein,Volxheim,Braunweiler,Mandel andRoxheim, which were thus freed from the toll at Kreuznach, had to sendSchöffen (roughly "lay jurists").

During theThirty Years' War, Kreuznach was overrun and captured many times by various factions fighting in that war:

• 9 September 1620 [O.S. 31 August 1620] – In theSiege of Bad Kreuznach the town was taken by theImperial-Spanish troops of GeneralMarquis Ambrogio Spinola under Wilhelm Ferdinand von Effern.^[42] In 1621Countess Catharina Belgica of Nassau travelled to Kreuznach to see Spinola to ask him to the spare theCounty of Hanau-Münzenberg. The Governors General of the Lower Palatinate, based in Kreuznach, were Don Guillermo de Verdugo di Fauleria,^[43] Baron von Böhmisch-Mascha und Tuppau, Don Felipe de Sylva (d. 1644)^[44] and Louis de la Tour.

• 1 March 1632 [O.S. 20 February 1632] – Kreuznach was taken bySwedish,Saxe-Weimar and English troops underKing Gustav II Adolf; thecastle capitulated on 4 March 1632 [O.S. 23 February 1632]).William Craven and SirFrancis Fane of Fulbeck (about 1611–1681?) were both seriously wounded at the conquest of the castle. Serving as commanders were theScots Colonel Alexander Ramsay (d. 1634) and Lieutenant Colonel (later General and Field Marshal)Robert Douglas. Julius Wilhelm Zincgref was installed in 1632 as the Kreuznach state scrivener by the alliedLudwig Philipp of Palatinate-Simmern.
• 14 July 1635 –Imperial troops briefly thrust their way into Kreuznach, but were repulsed by the occupation at the castle.
• 6 August 1635 [O.S. 27 July 1635] – Saxe-Weimar and French troops under DukeBernard of Saxe-Weimar andLouis de Nogaret Cardinal de La Valette, together with the Swedes passed through Kreuznach, later passing through once again on 19 September 1635 [O.S. 9 September 1635] as they retreated. Kreuznach's last "Swedish" commander was Colonel Johann Georg Stauff fromDirmstein.
• 20 December 1635 – Kreuznach was taken by Imperial-Spanish and Imperial-Croatian troops under GeneralMatthias Gallas. The castle was still held by the Swedes until May 1636 under anarmistice upon which both Colonel Stauff and Badish Lieutenant Colonel Bernhard Studnitzky von Beneschau (Studnický z Benešova) agreed on 9 January 1636 [O.S. 30 December 1635]. Stationed in the town were regiments headed byWilliam, Margrave of Baden-Baden. As neutral ground, Kreuznach was placed under joint Badish and Palatinate-Simmern rule.
• 21 November 1639 [O.S. 11 November 1639] – Kreuznach was taken by French and Saxe-Weimar troops under DukeHenri II d’Orléans, Duke of Longueville, after town commander Braun von Schmidtburg zu Schweich hadgone over to them.
• 27 May 1641 [O.S. 17 May 1641] – Bad Kreuznach was captured by Imperial-Bavarian and Imperial-Spanish troops under theSchillerhaas,Generalfeldwachtmeister Gilles de Haes began. An earlier attack in March 1641 had been defeated. The town capitulated on 6 June 1641 [O.S. 27 May 1641], while the fortress held out until 12 June 1641 [O.S. 2 June 1641].
• 4 November 1644 [O.S. 25 October 1644] – Kreuznach was taken by French troops underMarshal of FranceHenri de la Tour d'Auvergne, Vicomte de Turenne (the castle was held by the Bavarians until 26 December 1644 [O.S. 16 December 1644]) and transferred byMaréchal de camp Guy de Bar to Palatinate-Simmern.

The town was thus heavily drawn into hardship and woe, and the population dwindled from some 8,000 at the war's outbreak to roughly 3,500. The expression"Er ist zu Kreuznach geboren" ("He was born at Kreuznach") became a byword in German for somebody who had to struggle with a great deal of hardship.^[45] On 19 August 1663, the town was stricken by an extraordinarily highflood on the riverNahe.^[46]

In theNine Years' War (known in Germany as thePfälzischer Erbfolgekrieg, or War of the Palatine Succession), the Kauzenburg (castle) was conquered on 5 October 1688 by MarshalLouis François, duc de Boufflers. The town fortifications and the castle were torn down and the town of Kreuznach largely destroyed in May 1689 by French troops underBrigadierEzéchiel du Mas, Comte de Mélac (about 1630–1704) or Lieutenant General MarquisNicolas du Blé d’Uxelles.^[47] On 18 October 1689, Kreuznach's churches were burnt down.

As of 1708, Kreuznach wholly belonged toElectoral Palatinate. UnderElector Palatine Karl III Philipp, the Karlshalle Saltworks were built in 1729. Built in 1743 byPrince-Elector, Count Palatine and Duke Karl Theodor were the Theodorshalle Saltworks. On 13 May 1725, after acloudburst andhailstorm, Kreuznach was stricken by an extremeflood in which 31 people lost their lives, some 300 or 400 head of cattledrowned, two houses were utterly destroyed and many damaged and remaining parts of the town wall fell in.^[48] Taking part at the founding of theMasonic LodgeZum wiedererbauten Tempel der Bruderliebe ("To the Rebuilt Temple of Brotherly Love") inWorms in 1781 were alsoFreemasons from Kreuznach. As early as 1775, theGrand Lodge of the Rhenish Masonic Lodges (8th Provincial Grand Lodge) ofStrict Observance had already been given the name "Kreuznach".^[49] In the extreme winter of 1783/1784, the town was heavily damaged on 27–28 February 1784 by an icerun and flooding. A pharmacist named Daniel Riem was killed in his house "Zum weißen Schwan" ("At the White Swan") when it collapsed into the floodwaters.^[50]

In the course of theNapoleonic Wars (1792–1814), Frenchemigrants came to Kreuznach, among them PrinceLouis Joseph ofCondé. In October 1792,French Revolutionary troops under GeneralAdam Philippe, Comte de Custineoccupied the land around Kreuznach, remaining there until 28 March 1793. The town itself was briefly occupied by French troops under GeneralFrançois Séverin Marceau-Desgraviers on 4 January and then again on 16 October 1794. From 30 October until 1 December 1795, the town was held by Imperial troops under RhinegraveKarl August von Salm-Grumbach, but they were at first driven out in bloody battles by MarshalsJean-Baptiste Jourdan andJean-Baptiste Bernadotte. In this time, the town suffered greatly under sackings and involuntary contributions. After the French withdrew on 12 December, it was occupied by anAustrian battalion under Captain Alois Graf Gavasini, which withdrew again on 30 May 1796. On 9 June 1796, Kreuznach was once again occupied by the French. In 1797, Kreuznach, along with all lands on theRhine's left bank, wasannexed by theFrench First Republic, a deed confirmed underinternational law by the 1801Treaty of Lunéville. The parts of town that lay north of theNahe were assigned to theArrondissement of Simmern in theDepartment ofRhin-et-Moselle, whereas those that lay to the south were assigned to the Department ofMont-Tonnerre (or Donnersberg in German).^[51] The subprefect in Simmern in 1800 was Andreas van Recum and in 1806 it was Ludwig von Closen. Themaire of Kreuznach as of 1800 was Franz Joseph Potthoff (b. 1756; d. after 1806) and beginning in 1806 it was Karl Joseph Burret. On 20 September and 5 October 1804, the French Emperor,Napoleon Bonaparte visited Kreuznach. On the occasion of Napoleon's victory in theBattle of Austerlitz a celebratoryTe Deum was held at theCatholic churches in January 1806 onBishop of Aachen Marc-Antoine Berdolet's orders (Kreuznach was part of his diocese from 1801 to 1821). In 1808, Napoleon made a gift of Kreuznach's two saltworks to his favourite sister,Pauline. In 1809, the Kreuznach Masonic Lodge "Les amis réunis de la Nahe et du Rhin" was founded by van Reccum, which at first lasted only until 1814. It was, however, refounded in 1858. In Napoleon's honour, the timing of the Kreuznach yearly market was set by Mayor Burret on the Sunday after his birthday (15 August). Men from Kreuznach also took part in Napoleon's 1812Russian Campaign on the French side, to whom a monument established at the Mannheimer Straße graveyard in 1842 still stands. The subsequentGerman campaign (called theBefreiungskriege, or Wars of Liberation, in Germany) put an end to French rule.

Until a permanent new order could be imposed under the terms of theCongress of Vienna, the region lay under jointBavarian-Austrian administration, whose seat was in Kreuznach. When these terms eventually came about, Kreuznach passed to theKingdom of Prussia in 1815 and from 1816 it belonged to theRegierungsbezirk ofKoblenz in the province of theGrand Duchy of the Lower Rhine (as of 1822 theRhine Province) and was aborder town with two neighbouring states, theGrand Duchy of Hesse to the east and theBavarianexclave of thePalatinate to the south. The two saltworks, which had now apparently been taken away from Napoleon's sister, were from 1816 to 1897 Grand-Ducal-Hessian state property on Prussian territory. In 1817, Johann Erhard Prieger opened the first bathing parlour with briny water and thereby laid the groundwork for the fast-growing spa business. In 1843,Karl Marx marriedJenny von Westphalen in Kreuznach, presumably at theWilhelmskirche (William's Church), which had been built between 1698 and 1700 and was later, in 1968, all but torn down, leaving only the churchtower. In Kreuznach, Marx set down considerable portions of his manuscriptCritique of Hegel's Philosophy of Right (Zur Kritik der Hegelschen Rechtsphilosophie) in 1843.Clara Schumann, who was attending the spa in Kreuznach, and her half-sisterMarie Wieck gave a concert at the spa house in 1860. With the building of theNahe Valley Railway fromBingerbrück toSaarbrücken in 1858/1860, the groundwork was laid for the town's industrialisation. This, along with the ever-growing income from the spa, led after years of stagnation to an economic boost for the town's development. Nevertheless, the railway was not built for industry and spa-goers alone, but also as a logistical supply line for a war that was expected to break out with France. Before this, though, right at Kreuznach's town limits, Prussia and Bavaria once again stood at odds with each other in 1866. Thinking that was not influenced by this led to another railway line being built even before theFirst World War, the "strategic railway" fromBad Münster by way ofStaudernheim,Meisenheim,Lauterecken andKusel towards the west, making Kreuznach into an important contributor to transport towards the west. Only about 1950 were parts of this line torn up and abandoned. Today, between Staudernheim and Kusel, it serves as atourist attraction for those who wish to ridedraisines.

In 1891, three members of theFranciscan Brothers of the Holy Cross came to live in Kreuznach. In 1893, they took over the hospitalKiskys-Wörth, which as of 1905 bore the nameSt. Marienwörth. Since 1948, they have run it together with the Sisters of the Congregation of Papal Law of the Maids of Mary of the Immaculate Conception, and today run it as a hospital bearing the classificationII. Regelversorgung under Germany'sVersorgungsstufe hospital planning system. In 1901, the Second RhenishDiakonissen-Mutterhaus ("Deaconess's Mother-House"), founded in 1889 inSobernheim, moved under its abbot, the Reverend Hugo Reich, to Kreuznach. It is now a foundation known as thekreuznacher diakonie (always written with lowercase initials). In 1904, the pharmacist Karl Aschoff discovered the Kreuznach brine'sradon content, and thereafter introduced "radon balneology", a therapy that had already been practised in theAustro-Hungarian town of Sankt Joachimsthal in theBohemianOre Mountains (nowJáchymov in theCzech Republic). Even though the Bad Kreuznach's radon content was much slighter than that found in the waters fromBrambach orBad Gastein, the town was quickly billed as a "radium healing spa" – the technical error in that billing notwithstanding. In 1912, a radon inhalatorium was brought into service, into which was piped the air from an old mining gallery at the Kauzenberg, which had a higher radon content than the springwater. The inhalatorium was destroyed in 1945. In 1974, however, the old mining gallery itself was converted into a therapy room. To this day, radon inhalation serves as a naturalpain reliever for those suffering fromrheumatism. In theFirst World War, both the Kreuznach spa house and other hotels and villas became as of 2 January 1917 the seat of the Great Headquarters ofKaiser Wilhelm II. The Kaiser actually lived in the spa house. Used as theGeneral staff building was the Oranienhof. At the spa house on 19 December 1917, General Mustafa KemalPasha – better known asAtatürk ("Father of theTurks") and later president of a strictly secularTurkey – the Kaiser,Paul von Hindenburg andErich Ludendorff all met for talks. Only an extreme wintertime flood on the Nahe in January 1918 led to theOberste Heeresleitung being moved toSpa in Belgium.

After theFirst World War, French troopsoccupied theRhineland and along with it, Kreuznach, whose greathotels were thereafter mostly abandoned. In 1924, Kreuznach was granted the designationBad, literally "Bath", which is conferred on places that can be regarded as health resorts. Since this time, the town has been known as Bad Kreuznach. AfterAdolf Hitler and theNazisseized power in 1933, some, among them the trade unionistHugo Salzmann, organised resistance toNational Socialism. Despiteimprisonment, Salzmann survived theThird Reich, and after 1945 sat on town council for theCommunist Party of Germany (KPD). TheJews who were still left in the district after theSecond World War broke out were on the district leadership's orders taken in 1942 to the formerKolpinghaus, whence, on 27 July, they were deported toTheresienstadt. Bad Kreuznach, whose spa facilities and remaining hotels once again, from 1939 to 1940, became the seat of theArmy High Command, was time and again targeted byAlliedair raids because of theWehrmachtbarracks on Bosenheimer Straße, Alzeyer Straße and Franziska-Puricelli-Straße as well as the strategically importantBerlin-Paris railway line, which then led through the town. The lastStadtkommandant (town commander), Lieutenant Colonel Johann Kaup (d. 1945), kept Bad Kreuznach from even greater destruction when he offered advancing American troops no resistance, and yielded the town to them on 16 March 1945 with barely any fighting. Shortly before this, German troops had blown up yet another part of the old bridge across theNahe, thus also destroying residential buildings near the bridge ends.

Bad Kreuznach wasoccupied by US troops in March 1945 and thus stood under American military authority. This even extended to one of theRheinwiesenlager for disarmed German forces, which lay near Bad Kreuznach on the road toBretzenheim, and whose former location is now marked by a memorial. It was commonly known as the"Field of Misery". Found in the Lohrer Wald (forest) is a graveyard of honour for wartime and camp victims. Under the Potsdam Protocols on the fixing of occupation zone boundaries, Bad Kreuznach found itself for a while inFrench zone of occupation, but in an exchange in the early 1950s,United States Armed Forces came back into the districts ofKreuznach,Birkenfeld andKusel. Until the middle of 2001, the Americans maintained fourbarracks, aRedstone missile unit,^[52] a firing range, a small airfield and a drill ground in Bad Kreuznach. The last US forces in Bad Kreuznach were parts of the1st Armored Division ("Old Ironsides"). In 1958,President of FranceCharles de Gaulle andFederal ChancellorKonrad Adenauer agreed in Bad Kreuznach to an institutionalisation of the special relations between the two countries, which in 1963 resulted in theÉlysée Treaty. A monumental stone before the old spa house recalls this historic event. On 1 April 1960, the town of Bad Kreuznach was declared, after application to thestate government, agroße kreisangehörige Stadt ("large town belonging to a district").^[53] In 2010 Bad Kreuznach launched a competition to replace the 1950s addition to theAlte Nahebrücke ("Old Nahe Bridge"). The bridge, designed by competition winnerDissing+Weitling architecture ofCopenhagen, is scheduled for completion by 2012.

In the course of administrative restructuring inRhineland-Palatinate, the hitherto self-administering municipalities of Bosenheim, Planig, Ippesheim (all three of which had belonged until then to the Bingen district) and Winzenheim were amalgamated on 7 June 1969 with Bad Kreuznach.^[54] Furthermore,Rüdesheim an der Nahe was also amalgamated, but fought the amalgamation in court, winning, and thereby regaining its autonomy a few months later. As part of the2009 German federal election, aplebiscite was included on the ballot on the question of whether the towns of Bad Kreuznach andBad Münster am Stein-Ebernburg should be merged, and 68.3% of the Bad Kreuznach voters favoured negotiations between the two towns.^[55] On 25 May 2009, the town received another special designation, this time from theCabinet:Ort der Vielfalt – "Place ofDiversity".

As at 31 August 2013, there are 44,851 full-time residents in Bad Kreuznach, and of those, 15,431 areProtestant (34.405%), 13,355 areCatholic (29.776%), 4 belong to theOld Catholic Church (0.009%), 77 belong to theGreek Orthodox Church (0.172%), 68 belong to theRussian Orthodox Church (0.152%), 1 isUnited Methodist (0.002%), 16 belong to the Free Evangelical Church (0.036%), 41 areLutheran (0.091%), 2 belong to the Palatinate State Free Religious Community (0.004%), 1 belongs to the Mainz Free Religious Community (0.002%), 4 areReformed (0.009%), 9 belong to the Alzey Free Religious Community (0.02%), 2 form part of a membership group in aJewish community (0.004%) (162 other Jews belong to the Bad Kreuznach-Koblenz worship community [0.361%] while a further one belongs to the State League of Jewish worship communities in Bavaria [0.002%]), 9 areJehovah's Witnesses (0.02%), 1 belongs to yet another free religious community (0.002%), 5,088 (11.344%) belong to other religious groups and 10,579 (23.587%) either have no religion or will not reveal their religious affiliation.^[56]

The council is made up of 44 council members, who were elected byproportional representation at the municipal election held on 7 June 2009, and the chief mayor as chairwoman. Since this election, the town has been run by aJamaica coalition of theChristian Democratic Union of Germany, theFree Democratic Party andthe Greens.

The municipal election held on 7 June 2009 yielded the following results:^[57]

Bad Kreuznach's current mayor (Oberbürgermeister) is Emanuel Letz, elected in March 2022.^[1] Listed here are Bad Kreuznach's mayors sinceNapoleonic times:

The town'sarms might be described thus: On an escutcheon argent ensigned with a town wall with three towers all embattled Or, a fess countercompony Or and azure between three crosses pattée sable.

Bad Kreuznach's right to bear arms comes from municipal law for thestate ofRhineland-Palatinate. The three crosses pattée (that is, with the ends somewhat broader than the rest of the crosses' arms) are acantingcharge, referring to the town's name, the German word for "cross" beingKreuz. The crosses are sometimes wrongly taken to be Christiancrosses. In fact, the name Kreuznach developed out of the Celtic-Latin wordCruciniacum, which meant "Crucinius's Home", thus a man's name with the suffix—acum added, meaning "flowing water". The coat of arms first appeared with this composition on the keystone atSaint Nicholas's Church in the late 13th century. Themural crown on top of theescutcheon began appearing only about 1800 under French rule. The stylised stretch of town wall was originally rendered reddish-brown, but it usually appears gold nowadays.^[58]

TheKulturpreis der Stadt Bad Kreuznach is a promotional prize awarded by the town of Bad Kreuznach each year in the categories of music,visual arts and literature on a rotational basis. A full list of prizewinners since the award's introduction can be seen at the link. In 2013, the prize was not awarded owing to cost-cutting measures.

In Bad Kreuznach there are many clubs that can boast of successes at the national level. Intrampolining andwhitewater slalom, the town is a national stronghold, while it has also shown strength at the state level inshooting sports andbocce. The biggest club isVfL 1848 Bad Kreuznach, within which the first basketball department in anysport club in Germany was founded in 1935.^[67] After theSecond World War, too, the club produced many important personalities, among them several players at the national level.^[68] Moreover, the club'sfield hockey department is also of importance, having for a while been represented in theDamen-Bundesliga ("Ladies' National League"). The first field hockey department in a Bad Kreuznach sport club, however, was theKreuznacher HC, which made it to the semi-finals at the German Championship in 1960, and which to this day stages the Easter Hockey Tournament. Infootball, the town's most successful club isEintracht Bad Kreuznach. The team played in, among other leagues, theOberliga, when that was Germany's highest level in football, as well as, later, the SecondBundesliga. The club that has won the most titles is MTV Bad Kreuznach, which in trampolining is among Germany's most successful clubs.Canoeing, in particular whitewater slalom, is practised by RKV Bad Kreuznach. Creuznacher RV has a long tradition inrowing. Also important are the shooting sport clubs SG Bad Kreuznach 1847 and BSC Bad Kreuznach. Indisabled sports, the Sportfreunde Diakonie especially has been successful, particularly in bocce.

Bad Kreuznach is characterised to a considerable extent bywinegrowing, and with 777 ha ofvineyard planted – 77%white wine varieties and 23%red – it is the biggest winegrowing centre in theNahe wine region and the seventh biggest in Rhineland-Palatinate.

Bad Kreuznach has roughly 1,600 businesses with at least one employee, thereby offering 28,000 jobs, of which half are filled bycommuters who come into town from surrounding areas. The economic structure is thus characterised mainly bysmall and medium enterprises, but also some big businesses like the tire manufacturerMichelin, the machine builderKHS, the Meffert Farbwerke (dyes,lacquers,plasters, protective coatings) and theJos. Schneider Optische WerkeGmbH may be mentioned. In 2002, the tradition-rich Seitz-Filter-Werke was taken over by the US-basedPall Corporation. Thusproducing businesses are of great importance, and are especially well represented by thechemical industry (tires, lacquers, dyes) and the optical industry as well as machine builders and automotive suppliers. Retail and wholesale dealers, as well as restaurants hold particular weight in the inner town, although in the last few years, theservice sector, too, has been gaining in importance. The express road links to theAutobahn bring Bad Kreuznach closer toFrankfurt Airport. The town can also attract new investment with itseconomic conversion areas.

The spa operations and thewellness tourism also hold a special place for the town as the world's oldestradon-brine spa and theRhineland-Palatinate centre for rheumatic care. Available in town are 2,498* beds for guests, which out of 449,756* overnight stays have seen 270,306* stays by guests in rehabilitation clinics. All together, the town was visited by 92,700 overnight guests (*as of 31 December 2010). Also available to the spa operations are six spa clinics, spasanatoria, the thermal brine movement bath "Crucenia Thermen" with a salt grotto, a radon gallery,graduation towers in the Salinental (dale), the brine-fogger in theKurpark (spa park) set up as open-air inhalatoria and the "Crucenia Gesundheitszentrum" ("Crucenia Health Centre") for ambulatory spa treatment. Theindications for these treatments are forrheumatic complaints, changes injoints due togout, degenerative diseases of thespinal column and joints, women's complaints, illnesses of therespiratory system,paediatric illnesses,vascular illnesses, non-infectiousskin diseases,endocrinological dysfunctions,psychosomatic illnesses andeye complaints. After the noticeable decline in the spa business in the mid 1990s, there was a remodelling of the healing spa. At theSaunalandschaft bathhouse rose a "wellness temple" with 12 greatsaunas on an area of 4 000 m², which receives roughly 80,000 visitors every year.

In the hospital run bykreuznacher diakonie (397 beds) and the St. Marienwörth hospital (Franciscan brothers), Bad Kreuznach has at its disposal two general hospitals that have available the most modern specialised departments for heart and intestinal disorders, and also strokes. In the spa zone, there is also the "Sana" Rhineland-Palatinate Rheumatic Centre, made up of a rheumatic hospital and a rehabilitation clinic, theKarl-Aschoff-Klinik. Another rehabilitation clinic under private sponsorship is theKlinik Nahetal. Also, there are the psychosomatic specialised clinicSt.-Franziska-Stift and the rehabilitation and preventive clinic for children and youth,Viktoriastift.

Given Bad Kreuznach's location in the narrowNahe valley, all transport corridors run upstream parallel to the river. Moreover, the town is an important crossing point for all modes of transport.

From 1896 to 1936, there were theKreuznacher Kleinbahnen ("Kreuznach Narrow-Gauge Railways"), a ruralnarrow-gauge railway network. An originalsteam locomotive and its shed, which were moved fromWinterburg, can be found today in nearbyBockenau. TheKreuznacher Straßen- und Vorortbahnen ("Kreuznach Tramways and Suburban Railways") ran not only a service within the town but also lines out into the surrounding area, toBad Münster am Stein,Langenlonsheim andSankt Johann. In 1953, the whole operation was shut down. Since the introduction of "Rhineland-Palatinate Timetabling" (Rheinland-Pfalz-Takt) in the mid 1990s, the train services other than theICE/EC/IC services have once again earned some importance. Besides the introduction ofhourly timetabling, there has also been a marked expansion into the nighttime hours, with trains leaving forMainz three hours later each day.Bad Kreuznach station is one of Rhineland-Palatinate's few V-shaped stations (called aKeilbahnhof, or "wedge station", in the German terminology). Branching off theNahe Valley Railway (Bingen–Saarbrücken) here is therailway line to Gau Algesheim. From Bingen am Rhein,Regionalbahn trains run by way of theAlsenz Valley Railway, which branches off the Nahe Valley Railway inBad Münster am Stein, toKaiserslautern, reaching it in roughly 65 minutes. Running on the line toSaarbrücken and by way of Gau Algesheim and theWest Rhine Railway to Mainz areRegional-Express and Regionalbahn trains. The travel time to Mainz lies between 25 and 40 minutes, and to Saarbrücken between 1 hour and 40 minutes and 2 hours and 20 minutes.

Bad Kreuznach can be reached by car through the like-namedinterchange on the AutobahnA 61 as well as onBundesstraßen 41, 48 and 428. Except forBundesstraße 48, all these roads skirt the inner town, while the Autobahn is roughly 12 km from the town centre. Local public transport is provided by a town bus network with services running at 15- or 30-minute intervals.

In 1950, theMax Planck Institute for Agricultural and Agricultural Engineering was moved fromImbshausen to Bad Kreuznach, where it used spaces of the Bangert knightly estate. From 1956 until its closure in 1976, it bore the nameMax-Planck-Institut für Landarbeit und Landtechnik.^[69] From 1971 to 1987, the discipline of cultivation of theFachhochschule Rheinland-Pfalz,Bingen, was located in Bad Kreuznach. Since it moved away to Bingen, Bad Kreuznach has been offering collegelike training for aspirant winemakers and agricultural technologists with theDLR (Dienstleistungszentrum Ländlicher Raum). This two-yearTechnikerschule für Weinbau und Oenologie sowie Landbau is a path within the agricultural economics college. It continues the tradition of the former, well knownHöheren Weinbauschule ("HigherWinegrowing School") and theIngenieurschule für Landbau ("Engineering School for Cultivation") and fills a gap in the training betweenFachhochschule and one-yearFachschule. TheAgentur für Qualitätssicherung, Evaluation und Selbstständigkeit von Schulen ("Agency for Quality Assurance, Evaluation and Independence of Schools") and thePädagogisches Zentrum Rheinland-Pfalz ("Rhineland-Palatinate Paedagogical Centre"), the latter of which the state's schools support with their further paedagogical and didactic development, likewise have their seats in the town, as does theStaatliche Studienseminar Bad Kreuznach (a higher teachers' college). TheEvangelical Church in the Rhineland maintained from 1960 to 2003 aseminary in Bad Kreuznach to trainvicars.
