'''''Bad Soden''''' (officially '''''Bad Soden am Taunas'''''), and known as '''''Soden''''' until 1922, is a spa town in the state of Hesse (Hessen), Germany, near the city of Frankfurt am Main. <br />
<br />
In Tchaikovsky's lifetime it was part of the Grand Duchy of Hesse until 1868, the Hesse-Nassau Province of the Kingdom of Prussia from 1868, and part of the German Empire from 1871.<br />
<br />
==Tchaikovsky in Soden==<br />
Tchaikovsky stayed at the ''Kurhaus Hotel'' in Soden from 1/13 June to 4/16 or 5/17 July 1870 (except for two days at [[Mannheim]] in early July), travelling with his friend [[Vladimir Shilovsky]], who was seeking the curative properties of the town's spa waters. <br />
<br />
The composer reported that "it is very sad here: there are lots of sick people and the place is gloomy" <ref name="note1"/>, but he regularly attended concerts in the town <ref name="note2"/>. "Every morning I set out on foot for the place called ''Drei Linden'', and there I read or compose beside one of the steepest mountains in nature, having before my eyes a magical panorama, which spans 200 versts..." <ref name="note3"/>.<br />
