History
In Roman times, a castrum was built at Bad Ems as part of the Upper Germanic
Limes, but today not much of the structure remains. In the woods around the town,
however, there are distinct traces of the former Roman border .
The town was first mentioned in official documents in 880 and received its town
charter in 1324. The Counts of Nassau and Katzenelnbogen rebuilt the bath and
used it together with other noble visitors. [2] In the 17th and 18th centuries Bad Ems
was considered one of Germany's most famous bathing resorts. It reached its
heyday in the 19th century when it welcomed visitors from all over the world and
became the summer residence of various European monarchs and artists, including
Kaiser Wilhelm I of Germany, Tsars Nicholas I and Alexander II of Russia, Richard
Wagner, Fyodor Dostoevsky and Vasili Vasilyevich Vereshchagin, etc.
