Bad Saulgau is located north of the wooded hills Wagenhart and a few kilometers west-northwest of the hill Atzenberger Höhe. It is located between the Danube and Lake Constance, on the Danube tributary Schwarzach. The European watershed, which separates the catchment areas of the Rhine and the Danube, runs through the municipal district Lampertsweiler. The waters flowing southward eventually join the Rhine, the northbound ones the Danube.
During World War II, a subcamp of the Dachau concentration camp was located in the town.[4] In 2005, a memorial commemorating the camp and the victims was inaugurated at the camp's former location.[5]
After World War II, Saulgau was part of the French occupation zone in 1945 and became part of the newly founded state of Württemberg-Hohenzollern in 1947, which was incorporated into the state of Baden-Württemberg in 1952.
In 2000, the name of the town was officially changed from Saulgau to Bad Saulgau, where the German Bad refers to its spa facilities and important natural thermal source.
Education

The Toin Gakuen Schule Deutschland, a Japanese international boarding secondary school, was previously located in Bad Saulgau, but closed in 2012.[6]
