Bad Feilnbach is a municipality in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim at the foot of Wendelstein Mountain in Germany. As a famous 'Moorheilbad' (moor healing spa) the municipality was awarded in 1973 the title "Bad". Since the 19th century the peat deposits were the basis for a continued expansion of the spa and health facilities. The recognized healing success of "black gold" on a variety of diseases were the basis for the development of a well-known spa and tourist community. Due to its wooded surroundings and the mild climate Feilnbach is called the "Bavarian Meran". The entire municipality is recognized as a healing spa resort except for parts of the former municipality Dettendorf.
Bad Feilnbach is located directly on the northern edge of the Bavarian Alps, at the foot of the 1,838 m high Wendelstein. The village is located 17 km east of Miesbach, 10 km south of Bad Aibling, 15 km southwest of Rosenheim and 33 km from Kufstein. The Autobahn A8 (junction Bad Aibling) is 5 km away, German federal highway B93 (exit Reischenhart) 9 km, and the nearest railway stations in Bad Aibling and Raubling are 10 km.
The municipality Bad Feilnbach has 77 officially designated districts:
Feilnbach became an independent municipality in 1818, following administrative reform in Bavaria.
From 27 May 1897 until 1973 Feilnbach was at the end of the local railway Bad Aibling-Feilnbach.
On 1 January 1966, the municipalities Feilnbach and Wiechs were merged to form the new community Feilnbach-Wiechs whose name was changed on 28 December 1971 in Feilnbach. Following municipal reform, on 1 January 1972 Bad Aibling was incorporated into the municipality. Dettendorf followed on 1 February 1972. On October 22, 1973, the community received the additional title Bad (bath). Finally, the community Litzldorf was incorporated into Bad Feilnbach on May 1, 1978.
On July 1, 1972, Bad Feilnbach, which was previously part of the district of Bad Aibling, was made part of the Rosenheim district.
The individual settlements were probably formed in Roman times and Feilnbach is first mentioned in 980 as "Fulinpah", which is derived from the name for a sluggish or slow flowing brook (Bach). The municipality extends from the foothills of Wendelstein far into the moorland of Rosenheim Basin, covering approximately 5,800 ha.
