Bad Arolsen until 1997 Arolsen, is a small town in northern Hesse, Germany, in Waldeck Frankenberg district. From 1655 until 1918 it served as the house metropolis of the Princes of Waldeck Pyrmont and then until 1929 as the capital of the Waldeck Free State. The International Tracing Service has its headquarters in Bad Arolsen. In 2003, the town hosted the 43rd Hessentag country pageant. The earliest documents mentioning Arolsen date again to 1131 while an Augustinian nunnery was mounted there with the name of "Aroldessen".

The nunnery changed into secularized in 1526 and in 1655 has become the house of the Counts of Waldeck, who transformed it into a stately home.
