Originally a village in a wine‑growing and farming area, Bad Krozingen developed around its springs as bathing and medical remedies gained popularity in the 19th and 20th centuries. The addition of the prefix "Bad" signals its recognition as a spa destination; since then the local economy has balanced traditional rural activities with services for visitors and patients.
