After discovering a thermal spring, the Romans founded the town in 80 AC. The town was named Aquae Aureliae and thermae were built.

Later in 1112, Baden became the headquarters of the margraviate of Bade. Hohenbaden castle's old ruins are still visible on a nearby cliff.

The town went through various destructive periods. Religion wars divided and reorganised the margraviate. Baden was heavily damaged during the Thirty Years War and later burnt down by the French in 1689.

Baden became a touristic city at the end of the 18^th century. Appreciated by nobles all around Europe, such as Stéphanie de Beauharnais, Baden became a must-see. Russian tsars often spent time in Baden and Queen Victoria's half-sister lived there and built the first golf course and tennis club of Germany! The town was later renamed Baden-Baden in 1931.

After the Second World War, the town became the headquarter of the French occupants.
