Bad Lobenstein (German pronunciation: [baːt ˈloːbn̩ˌʃtaɪn] ⓘ) is a spa town in the Saale-Orla-Kreis district, in Thuringia, Germany with a population of about 6,000 inhabitants. Until 2005, the town was named Lobenstein.
The town, grouped round a rock, upon which stand the ruins of an old castle, is exceedingly picturesque. It contains a spacious parish church, a palace (until 1824 the residence of the princes of Reuss-Lobenstein-Ebersdorf), and a hydropathic establishment. At the beginning of the twentieth century, local industries included dyeing, brewing and cigar-making.
