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.

History
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.[4] Following municipal reform, on 1 January 1972 Bad Aibling was incorporated into the municipality. Dettendorf followed on 1 February 1972.[4] 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.[5]
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.
Crest History
The silver wave bar is a symbol of Bach (brook) and represents the main town Feilnbach, whose name was derived from "Faulenbach" (Fulinpah). The Silver Church was originally taken from the coat of arms of the nobles of Diepertskirchen. These gentlemen held the seat in Lippertskirchen from the beginning of the 11th to the late 15th century. The coat of arms was adopted in 1957 by Feilnbach and amended in 1966. In 1973 the town was awarded the title "Bad" and since then bears the name of Bad Feilnbach. Thus the place underlines its importance as a mud spa and natural healing village. (See. House of Bavarian History)
