Bad Windsheim is a small historic city in Bavaria, Germany. It lies in the district Neustadt (Aisch)-Bad Windsheim, west of Nuremberg. A document from 741 proofs for the first time the existence of town called 'Uuinidesheim'. The name changed to 'Windsheim' by linguistic development and means something equal to 'To the home of Winid'. Nowadays, the town is known for its waters and spa, Franken-Therme, and an open-air museum, the Freilandmuseum, which brings together old farms and farmhouses from the area to explore. On the first weekend in August every year Bad Windsheim is the location for an event called 'Weinturm Open Air', a concert on the top of the a hill of the town. The town is also known for its war memorial in the form of a large statue of Roland.
