Lippspringe is mentioned in chronicles as early as the 9th century, and here in the 13th century the order of the Templars established a stronghold. It received civic rights about 1400.[3] Friedrich Wilhelm Weber was born here in 1817. During the 19th century, the Arminius spring and the Liborius spring, with saline waters of a temperature of 21 °C (70 °F), were used both for bathing and drinking in cases of tuberculosis.[3]
The local football team is BV Bad Lippspringe, which Antonio Di Salvo started his career with, after being born nearby.
Bad Lippspringe is home to RAPA (Rhine Army Parachute Association), a British Army Parachute and Skydiving Dropzone. This was formed in 1964 and is still going today.
