Bad Homburg is located in the foothills of the Taunus Mountains, just north of Frankfurt am Main. The Romans knew of, and used, its mineral springs, though the town as such was first mentioned only in the 12th century. The town passed to the house of Hesse in 1521, and it became the independent city and margraviate of Hesse-Homburg in 1622. It became a famous and fashionable bathing and gambling resort in the 19th century. It was also famed for the local Homburg hat, popularized by Edward, Prince of Wales in the 1890s.
